TOWN PRESENTATION

Between lowland and swamp Montreuil is a quiet town away from the National Fontenay-le-Comte - La Rochelle, and 5 minutes from the entrance to the motorway A83 (exit 8).

Until 1945, the town was named Montreuil-sur-Mer, but its namesake with a town in the Pas-de-Calais necessitated the use of simplified Montreuil name. The old name was referring to the position of the common border of the former Gulf Pictons now occupied by the Marais Poitevin. As with any town bordering the former Gulf, there was traces of occupation at the time Celtic. Then over the ages, the site will always be busy. The basement, near the church will deliver 13 sarcophagi from the Merovingian era. Under the feudal system, there are several lordships.


SIGHTSEEING

Some witnesses to this heritage may hold the attention:

A porch decorated with armorial bearings.

The 12th century church in the apse and the bell filed with the outside a series of original corbels.
