The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Deux Sevres region


The area has a micro climate and as the 2nd hottest area in france we have high temperatures in the summer and mild winters. There is plenty to do with horse riding, gokarting and the international fishing centre at Pescalis.
The coast with lots of activities and sandy beaches is 1hr 30 away. A visit to Puy du Fou theme park is a must, providing fun entertainment, a medieval fort and daily laser shows. The old port of La Rochelle is well worth exploring, to meander around the old streets or watch the world go by at one of the many water-side cafes and bars. Visit the ever popular Futuroscope interactive adventure park with 3D cinema screens and virtual reality rides – always a great day out.
The Loire valley with acres of vineyards and picturesque chateaux is about a 90 minute drive.
The Bressuire / Clazay area
Bressuire is a lively market town with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in which to relax. There are several supermarkets (the nearest to the gite are Carrefour and LeClerc).
Situated in the heart of the town is the 11th century chateau that has beautiful grounds which are open to visitors. The chateau is the focus on Bastille Day (14th July ) with lots of activities during the day and a firework display in the evening. there is also the chataeu at st mesmin with fun events going throughout the summer.
L’eglise Notre Dame near the market place dates back to 1090 and is a good visit for those interested in the history of Bressuire.
The Bocapole centre is popular for activities including bowling. The nearby village of Clazay ( 1 min away ) is good for fresh croissants and baguettes from the boulangerie.
there is the Adventure park set in woodland, 2 Zoo's at Doue and Mervent , gokarting , A waterpark ,all less than a hour away and great days out with the Kids !!
