History and Tidbits
The name Corpe is derived from an old french word for a crow 'Corp'. Corpe is part of the Canton of Mareuil-sur-Lay and was originally an agricultural community which grew to accomodate people working in the businesses in and around Luçon due to the good communications.The wealth of shops and businesses in nearby Luçon and Mareuil means that there are few facilites in Corpe, only a baker, a church and a cafe.
Transportation
The main road from Luçon to La Roche sur Yon (D746) passes very close to the village, the A83 motorway is only 12km away and the beaches of south Vendee are less than 30 minutes by car. The village is entirely surrounded by farmland and provides a tranquil location which is however well connected.
