Airvault (French pronunciation: [ɛʁvo]) is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.

The Saint Pierre church in the center of town was built around 975 AD by Aldéarde, the wife of viscount Herbert I of Thouars.

One block from the church is the abbey, which houses a museum of traditional arts and crafts.

François-Marie Arouet might have chosen his pen name, Voltaire, by inverting the syllables of the word “Airvault”.

[6] Airvault hosts a yearly didgeridoo, Jew's harp, and overtone singing festival Rêve de l'Aborigène.
