Culture and History
The church in Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne was built in 1902 to replace an older church from the 14th century that had burned down several times. Its stained-glass windows depict the story of Père Barbedette, the priest of Notre-Dame du Grand-Luc during the Vendée Wars. A permanent audio recording for a guided tour is available next to the organ in this church.
The Sentier de la Mémoire leads from the Mémorial de la Vendée to the Chapelle du Petit-Luc. The Mémorial de la Vendée commemorates the massacre of 564 villagers from Les Lucs in February 1794. The Chapelle du Petit-Luc contains 22 plaques bearing the names of 564 people who were murdered in Les Lucs during the Revolution.
The Chapelle du Petit-Luc was built in 1866 on the site of the choir of the former Notre-Dame du Petit-Luc church. According to the oldest documents, this former church is said to date back to the 11th century.
