A little history: At the time (Gallo-Roman) of the Gulf of the Pictons, Vix was an island surrounded by marshland. This marsh was drained by man, creating a wet marsh and a dry marsh. In the 13th century, the monks turned this land into livestock, wine and market garden estates. Today, our land still produces these products, which are the specialities of the region (Fiefs Vendéens wines and the marsh melon).
