Situated in the south of the Vendée, the Mervent Forest is the largest forest in the department. This natural area stretches around the towns of Mervent and Vouvant and offers an unspoilt environment, ideal for walks and outdoor activities.
Criss-crossed by several signposted trails, the forest offers visitors the chance to explore a wide variety of landscapes, including valleys, rivers, viewpoints and wooded areas. It is bordered in particular by the Mère and Vendée rivers, which contribute to the site’s natural and peaceful character. The area is popular for walking, cycling and family outings.
The Mervent Forest is also home to several leisure facilities, including the Pierre Brune Park, a family leisure park set in the heart of the countryside. The area also includes Lake Mervent, which offers opportunities for water sports and relaxation in the great outdoors.
