The Treaty of La Jaunaye was a peace treaty for the War in the Vendée, agreed by François de Charette and Charles Sapinaud de La Rairie, on behalf of the leaders of the Catholic and Royal Army, and by Albert Ruelle on behalf of the National Convention on 17 February 1795 at the manor of La Jaunaye, at Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire, near Nantes.
The treaty brought an end to major hostilities. The Vendée counter-revolutionaries and chouans recognised the French Republic and in return received assurances on freedom of religion, exemption from conscription and the right to keep their arms.[1]
The treaty is signed only by representatives of the Convention.[2]
