Fromentine is a district of La Barre-de-Monts, in the Vendée region of France. It is located opposite the island of Noirmoutier and is the main way to "l'Ile d'Yeu". == History == The name Fromentine seems to be a transformation of ''froment'' (wheat in French), which was grown in these lands and was famous in the big west French cities (Like Nantes or Bordeaux) For decades Fromentine has been the junction point for the French isles of Noirmoutier and Yeu. It wasn't colonised until the 19th century, when a few locals and the baron of Saint-Geniès, who was the owner of Fromentine lands, built their houses in the sand dunes of Fromentine. Since then, more people have come, and Fromentine began to be the seaside station it is now at the dawn of the 20th century, when the train arrived for the first time (1896) in Fromentine, and linked it to the rest of the world, and brought the district developers who made the district what it is. They built numerous villas and hotels and designed the station as a tourist attraction, or at least a passage point for the tourists going to Noirmoutier and Yeu. During the Second World War, four Germans ships were sunk by the Canadian aviation only a hundred meters from Fromentine's main beach. They can still be seen at low tide. Fromentine was linked to Noirmoutier by Noirmoutier's bridge in 1971, which was the first real way to Noirmoutier, considering the Gois isn't usable all the time, and that using boats wasn't the easiest way to cross the strait between the island and the land. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fromentine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
