Ref.4882 : In the south of the Vendée, a 19th-C. dwelling in the historic centre
Fontenay-le-Comte is a charming town situated in the south of the Vendée, on the edge of the Marais Poitevin, a vast natural area renowned for its canals and biodiversity. Formerly the capital of Bas-Poitou, it enjoyed its golden age during the Renaissance, and still boasts a rich architectural heritage from that period. Its mansions, churches and elegant squares bear witness to this past prosperity. A town of art and history, it offers a pleasant living environment combining heritage, culture and nature. Its lively historic centre is home to shops, markets and events throughout the year. Close to the Atlantic Ocean, La Rochelle and the Marais Poitevin, it enjoys a privileged location.

As you wander through the narrow streets of the old town centre, you'll come across this historic 19th-C. dwelling, built in the Neo-Gothic and Byzantine styles.
The house has a living area of 186 sqm, is spread over four floors and is semi-detached on one side. It features spacious and light-filled rooms.
