The Renaissance town of Fontenay-le-Comte is regarded as one of the most beautiful towns in the region. The town sits on the Vendee River and has a long and interesting past dating back to the first Gaul settlement in the area. The heart of the town has many ruined medieval structures that can still be seen today, as well as some medieval buildings still standing. Some of the old structures are in fact protected by the government so that they remain as they always were without new renovations or modern buildings near them. The famous French author Francois Rabelais was a monk at Fontenay-le-Comte and even Emperor Napoleon 1st and his wife stayed here. Book a stay at one of these great Airbnb vacation rentals in Fontenay-le-Comte and explore this beautiful city of new and old.
