Deux Sevres

Visitors to Deux-Sèvres should be prepared to appreciate unspoilt natural surroundings. Most of the department is made up of farmland, and it’s name, the two Sèvres, comes from the Sèvre Nantaise and Sèvre Niortaise rivers which begin within the area. Many of the department’s residents enjoy a traditional way of life, raising animals or growing crops on the land.
