La Vendée

With lush countryside, superb climate and miles of sandy coastline, La Vendée is often described as one of the best kept secrets in France.

Beautiful churches, abbeys and chateaux highlight the region's historical importance.

Situated along the Atlantic coast, this region boasts a climate that rivals that of the Côte d'Azure  with over 280 days of sunshine a year. La Treille is only an hour from the coast.

There are many towns and cities to explore – La Rochelle (1 hr), La Roche sur Yon (45 mins), Nantes (1 hr), Cholet (45 mins), Poitiers (75 mins), Niort (1 hr).

The Grand Parc du Puy du Fou (45 min) is a great place to visit with the family. You can spend 1 or 2 days at the Grand Parc and experience and learn about the history of the Vendée.

Closer to us, there is the Tower of Bazoges en Pareds, the Museum of the Two Victories Clemenceau-de Lattre at Mouilleron en Pareds, the Mining Centre at Faymoreau, the abbeys at Nieul sur l’Autise and Maillezais, the Forest of Mervent- Vouvant, and much more.

La Treille sits directly on an extensive network of clearly marked footpaths where you can just take a stroll or plan an eight-hour treck! – there is a selection of easy-to-follow maps in the gite.

There is something for everyone. Discover the Vendée for yourselves.
