The Saint-Florent-le-vieil abbey is an essential place to visit to remember the Vendée War. The column reminds us that it was here that the Vendée army crossed the Loire. It is here that the Catholic and royal army granted pardon to the prisoners of the Republican army. This deeply Catholic act is immortalized by the famous statue of David in the abbey church. The Republicans, on the other hand, responded by massacring the Vendée residents, survivors, women and children. The French Republic forever bears the stain of its original crime.
