History[edit]

The arrondissement of Fontenay-le-Comte was created in 1811.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Vendée, it received 11 communes from the arrondissement of La Roche-sur-Yon.[5]

  1. Chaillé-les-Marais
  2. La Châtaigneraie
  3. Fontenay-le-Comte
  4. L'Hermenault
  5. Luçon
  6. Maillezais
  7. Pouzauges
  8. Sainte-Hermine
  9. Saint-Hilaire-des-Loges
