== History == 270px|left|thumb|L'Herbaudière marina The history of the town began with the arrival of the monk Saint Philibert in 674 who founded a monastery. The Château de Noirmoutier dates from the 11th and 12th century. In summer the area is a tourist resort. The name is recorded in Latin as Nerium Monasterium, wrongly written by some as Nigrum Monasterium ("Black Monastery").
