Church consecrated in 1830 under the name of Saint-Louis, a historical monument designed by the engineer Vallot in La Roche-sur-Yon

The largest religious building in the Vendée, the church, begun in 1809 and consecrated in 1830 under the name of Saint-Louis, marks the Place Napoléon by its monumental character. Listed as a historical monument, it was designed by the engineer Vallot on the plan of an ancient basilica. Remarkable by the size of its interior: a powerful continuous entablature resting on two lines of columns with Corinthian capitals, a beautiful wooden vault made of caissons framing rosettes painted in grisaille. To see, the Virgin and Child in polychrome wood of the 14th century.

Une trés belle église, au style particulier, ni gothique, ni romane, mais avec de beaux vitraux, et un orgue majestueux, accompagné par son petit frêre : l'orgue de Choeur, plus ancien et signé Cavaillé Coll. Le Choeur est ses sculptures vallent aussi le détour !

This church gathering rather with a basilica is worth lingering would not be it for the wooden vault. La Vierge à l'enfant, is a splendid work
