| Description | : | The Royal Abbey of Saint-Michel-en-l'Herm. The history of the abbey traces back to 682 AD, it was the second monastic foundation in Vendée after Noirmoutier. In 1569, Protestants attacked the abbey and killed approximately 200 monks dwelling within the walls of this structure. The motives of the attack are still being debated, but one main theory is that the Protestants came to seek the treasure and manuscripts left hidden in the abbey by the Bishop of Luçon.
