A Fontenautes & company event: Virginie Parailloux and François Viète make you discover the mysterious cellars-prisons of La Châtaigneraie!
DESCRIPTION OF THE VISIT:
You may not know it, but the former bailiwick’s house on Rue du Commerce has a secret in its basement… Cellars-prisons, wanted by Louis XVI by royal mandate, tell in their way the history that crossed the Vendée over the centuries.
François Viète, always curious and a great fan of graffiti, will be present to put his cryptography skills at the service of the visit proposed by Virginie Parailloux of Culture & Campagne.
