Mervent, Rural commune in Vendée, France
The village stretches across 22.2 square kilometers between plains and bocage landscape, with the rivers Mère and Vendée meeting at its southern edge.
The construction of a dam in 1956 transformed the landscape by creating a lake at the foot of the village where the Mère and Vendée rivers converge.
The community maintains the Station Verte certification, representing a commitment to rural tourism development and environmental preservation in the French countryside.
The municipal administration actively seeks new business operators, including restaurant owners, to enhance services for its 1,055 residents and visitors.
The Forest of Mervent encompasses 5,000 hectares with marked trails, containing both medieval castle remains and the 22-meter-tall Pont du Déluge bridge.
