| Le Voide during the Guerres de
Vendée : |
|
During
this war, 300 out of the 800 inhabitants were killed because of
their religious faith.
22nd
January 1794, the troops of général Boucret
went through Le Voide. |

The
building of this church rests on a legend : several times, a
statue of the Virgin Mary was
found near a tree. It was here that the inhabitants decided to
build the church.
The
original constructions date back to the 7th century but were
burned during the Guerres de Vendée.
The current church was concecrated on 30t h
of September 1892. |

Situated
between Montilliers
and Valanjou,
this chapel was built,
in 1859, in honor of the Immaculate Conception. Unfortunately,
it was disfigured by poor restoration. |
