During the wars of Vendee, late eighteenth century, the valley suffered the brunt of the violence of fighting. The arrival of three characters in love with Italy is then the starting point for a renaissance: the brothers Frederick and Cacault Lemot introduce the Italian architecture in the reconstruction of the valley ...
