Art and History Museum. The History Gallery
29/03/2021 - Lu 9053 fois This gallery illustrates important events in the history of Cholet and its region from the Gallo-Roman period to the First World War. The main emphasis is on the Vendée wars, fought between Catholic/Royalist and Republican armies at the end of the 18th century.
Of special interest is the room devoted to the commanders of the Vendée forces: Cathelineau, Lescure, Henri de la Rochejacquelein, Charette, Bonchamps, etc. The fighting between “whites” and “blues”, then the Virée de Galerne and later episodes in the conflict (the uprisings of 1815, the rebellion led by the Duchesse de Berry in 1832) are illustrated by monumental canvases, weapons, archive material, flags, artefacts and eye-witness accounts.
