Luçon, Administrative commune in Vendée, France.

The town of Luçon spreads across western France with its notable 85-meter spire cathedral standing against the landscape of the Vendée department.

Founded as a Roman settlement named Lucionensis, Luçon developed into a significant port before the seas receded during the medieval period.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame contains a remarkable organ, presented as a gift from Napoleon III, which remains an essential part of local heritage.

France services at 14 place Leclerc provides administrative assistance to residents from Monday through Friday, offering support for various governmental procedures.

The town's connection to Cardinal Richelieu, who served as bishop before becoming minister under Louis XIII, influenced its architectural development.
