Municipality in the canton of La Roche-sur-Yon south, situated almost in the center of the Vendee, on the outskirts of La Roche-sur-Yon, and near two highway exits, Fougeré enjoys an exceptional location.
She is currently a rapidly growing population. Indeed, while the census population in 2006 reached 902 people, 1141 people were surveyed in early 2011, representing a population increase of over 26% in 5 years!
This once-rural town becomes more and more suburban due to its location in the first economic hub of the Vendee.
Its main assets are agriculture with 13 farms dominated farm, milk and meat. The site of his factory with CAVAC feed, its storage and its central grain supply. This structure employs a hundred people. The track driver education TURPEAU also generates significant activity. Craftsmen and traders complete the economic fabric.
Fougeré covers an area of 2689 hectares including 604 hectares of woods and about 1800 hectares of farmland.
Forest, popular with locals Yonnais, is the major tourist attraction. A marked trail allows for easy browsing.
The inhabitants are called Fougeréens and Fougeréennes. These can be found in many associations that drive the local community both in the field of leisure and services.
The origins of the town, like those of many famous localities, are lost in the mists of time. Scholars have tried to trace the origin of the name, which is probably Latin: "of Falgeriaco" (1080), "Fulgeriae" (1110), "of Fogere" (XIV), "of Fougerio" (1533), "of Fougere "and" Fougereyo "(1606). Of these various names, one fact stands out, at least with evidence: the names all have a common root: Fern. The town, indeed, takes its name from countless ferns that, historically, has brought its soil and it still bears.
No trace prehistoric Fougeré, with the exception of some polished axes found in the Martiniere and Buchignon.
The monks, in 1100, cleared a portion of the forest to build a monastery called "The Serizieres" around which were grouped the inhabitants. The hamlet formed, the common birthplace, became "The Cherry".
The forest known as the Chaize, covers the whole territory of Fougeré. This forest is growing, southeast of the town, as the Wood White Heath to beyond the road which connects Chantonnay to La Roche-sur-Yon.
Later, the nuns built a schedule at a place still called "Little Convent". This was the origin of the town, became the "Borough" of Fougeré.
In the town center, the church dedicated to Our Lady, was built after the plans of Mr. Clair, departmental architect in 1870.
