Moreilles, a Marais Poitevin village

~300 inhabitants. At Vendée's south tip, a few km from Charente-Maritime, under Marais Poitevin influence. Local identity: farming (grain, market-gardening), marsh proximity, remarkable religious heritage with its Cistercian abbey ruins.

Moreilles abbey

Notre-Dame abbey, Cistercian, 12th century. Remains survive within private farmland. The abbey church's massive walls testify to the site's former grandeur — rare heritage in Vendée.
