Many of the Acadians who left Châtellerault for Nantes
would make up a large number of the Acadians who sailed to Louisiana in 1785.


Châtellerault is located half-way between the Châteaux of the Loire Valley and Futuroscope. Châtellerault and its surrounding villages are on the threshold of France's Poitou region.
