Pouzauges Towns and Villages in Pouzauges

POUZAUGES 
SMALL CITY OF CHARACTER

Pouzauges, Petite Cité de Caractère and Labyrinth City

Pouzauges enjoys a privileged location in the Haut Bocage Vendéen. Situated at an altitude of almost 300 meters, it is one of the "highest" towns in the Vendée, and has long been known as the Queen of the Haut Bocage.

Its castle, a veritable fortress, overlooks the town and offers a splendid panorama of the bocage.

What remains of this ancient fortified castle is an 11th-century medieval keep that was built on these heights to see and be seen. A massive, square fortress, it can be visited all summer long, thanks to guided tours organized by the Tourist Office. 

Pouzauges has been awarded the "Petite Cité de Caractère" label, which promotes the local heritage throughout the year.

Along the narrow streets, or venelles to be more precise, you'll discover this labyrinthine town. Pouzauges unveils itself slowly and progressively as you follow its winding, sometimes steep, alleys, discovering secret corners and ever more surprising viewpoints.

Pouzauges is also a town with the Station Verte label

A privileged setting in the heart of the Vendée hills, a warm welcome and top-quality facilities, a wide choice of accommodation and eating establishments, regular summer events and authentic, natural tourism: Pouzauges has everything it takes to earn the Station Verte label.

From the Lac de l'Espérance at the bottom of town, to the Bois de la Folie and the Moulins du Terrier Marteau overlooking the town, there are plenty of activities to choose from, and the guarantee of a peaceful stay in a warm atmosphere is there!
