Geography
The commune was located between Surgères and Tonnay-Boutonne.
History
An old viticultural commune, Chervettes was marked by old viticultural properties with enclosed courtyards. Since the outbreak of phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, the commune subsisted three small areas of winery. The church known as Notre-Dame-de-l’Assumption was first constructed in the 15th century. Around the commune, Chiron features an 18th-century built mill.
