L'Absie is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres department in the Poitou-Charente region in western France.
L'Absie is centred on the remains of a medieval abbey patronised by Eleanor of Aquitaine. L'Absie is also near the Vendée border, about an hour's drive from the sunny sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast.
