Montaigu, Administrative center in Vendée, France
Located at the confluence of the Maine and Asson rivers, Montaigu functions as a delegated commune within the Vendée department of western France.
The settlement originated in the late 9th century when residents of Durivum sought refuge from Viking raids, establishing a new community at the current location.
The town maintains a strong connection to regional traditions through its annual Mondial Minimes football tournament, which has gathered young players since 1972.
The municipal administration operates from the castle grounds since 1843, providing essential public services to residents of the surrounding areas.
The transformation from an independent commune to a delegated commune within Montaigu-Vendée in 2019 marks a significant administrative evolution in local governance.
