Origin and history

The Pervinquière Hotel was built in the second half of the 18th century for Jacques Charlot de la Vergne and his wife Jeanneau, notables of Fontenay-le-Comte. The building, accompanied by a garden, is distinguished by its symmetrical three-level facade, marked by a central balustrade balcony and garlands of oak leaves adorning the top floor allegories. The name Pervinquière comes from the marriage in 1797 of their son Jean-Hilaire Charlot with Isabelle-Julie de Pervinquière, although the construction was initiated by the parents before the Revolution.

In 1810, the hotel was sold for 29,629 francs to the Théronneau and Givry families, resulting in its division into two properties (n°45 and n°47 rue de la République). The western part (n°45) underwent major changes: reconstruction of the staircase in the 20th century, redesign of the facade of the communes, and transformation into a passenger hotel (Le Rouet d'Argent) between 1924 and 1934. The eastern part (n°47) retained its original state. The facades, roofs and the wrought iron staircase were protected by inscription at the Historical Monuments in 1987.

The archives mention that the hotel was built on a land belonging to Jeanneau, wife of Jacques Charlot, and probably came out of the fief of Saint-Michel-le-Cloucq. This heritage illustrates the rise of the local aristocracy and bourgeois families in Vendée on the eve of the Revolution, as well as the subsequent urban transformations related to property changes and commercial usages.
