Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre
Hotel near the Puy du Fou, Château de la Barbinière is ideally located in the commune of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre.
It allows you to access the amusement park, but also to visit the one that we call "the Holy City of Vendée". Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre owes its name to "the Holy City of La Vendée" to Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort also known as Father de Montfort, missionary priest, who died in 1716.
Some 25,000 visitors a year, such as John Paul II in 1996, come to his tomb in the Basilica, proudly bearing his name. The concentration of the bell towers testifies to this.
No less than five of them are aligned, including that of the Basilica and the one (highest) of the Chapel of the Sisters of Wisdom, a true cathedral church.To this must be added the more modest places of worship of the Montfortian Fathers and the Brothers of St. Gabriel.
