The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vendee region


Vendee is steeped in history and you can learn more from the Castles and Manor houses in the region. We are only a drive away from the PUY DE FOU one of France's best theme parks with an outstanding light and sound show every weekend in high season with over 3,000 people taking part. Museums, Velo Rail trip, Floral parks, & Zoo to name just a few.
The vendee has a fun side too, with plenty to do with children and teenagers alike.Fun Parks, Aqua Parks, Rides, too much to list here. In high season the Paree Square becomes a hive of activity with open air concerts and fun.
Bretignolles sur Mer is very well know in the SURFING circles too, as one of the major world championships is held here each year on one particular stretch of the coastline where the waves are good.
The area is well known for its network of 150 kms safe cycling paths, Bike hire is close by.
Bird watching is keen as the area is a migratory path for many species. Avocets, Terns, Lapwings. Herons, Egrets and other marshland birds all of which have been spotted nesting nearby. Plenty to paint across the marshland and of course the Coastlines
The beauty of this area is that there is something for EVERYONE, no matter what age

The villa is so close to the seafront which made it easy to transport beach mats and picnic down to the beach by foot. It was also a bonus to know that there is a car park at the end of the road next to the beach as well. It's a spacious villa with plenty of room, homely with a very well equipped kitchen. The big surprise was to have a full cooker and another extra hob which made cooking for all of us really easy. Just a short walk away is a fabulous seafood restaurant where we ate twice and it was heaven, french food at its best, with good service and nice friendly people. Down at the Paree Plage there was takeaway food like pizza's bars and restaurants etc. which was great when we didn't feel like cooking so very convenient for quick bite to eat. There is plenty to do and see in the region. Of course it depends what you are looking for but we found Bretignolles itself is not over commercialised and therefore not spoilt by tourism. A good balance of amenities and looking after the coastline. Really enjoyed our stay here, glorious sunshine, sea and sand just perfectly shared by our whole family. Would thoroughly recommend it, suited us all! Can't fault it, fantastic holiday! Response: We understand how important the annual holiday is for every family, that is why we try so hard to help people organise a successful one. We take customer care very seriously, so its wonderful to hear from our clients that have enjoyed themselves and found the Villa exceeding their expectations. Thank you so much for this lovely feedback and we would be so happy to welcome you back at any time in the future. |
Guestbook for Crepuscule
We have been renting villas in France for some years now and I would say that this has been one of the best we have had. Your villa was more than adequate for our party of eight and it was very well equipped especially the kitchen which we found very useful. Mr. S FordingbridgeUK
Great location with large sandy beach within a few moments walk. The accommodation exceeded expectation and more than catered for our needs. Having mod cons such as English games and electrical items continued to keep us entertained. The area has lots to see and do keeping the whole family entertained. We look forward to spending future holidays in your accommodation Mr E. Bristol UK.
We have all enjoyed a wonderful week (4 generations) so comfortable, perfect for entertaining, great for living.Love the area,the proximity to beach, super cycle path, great children's playground and superb local food market Mrs M Leeds UK
> Beautifully decorated and well equipped plenty of space for the number of people, even when it rained and we were stuck indoors for an afternoon. Mme T Loire Atlantique France.
> I was very pleased with the house and how well it was fitted out and how spacious it was. The town was excellent; not at all heavily touristy but very French and simple. The cycleways were wonderful and gave me enough confidence to ride on the ‘wrong’ side of the road. The rocky beach and the sandy one gave the best of both worlds from Mrs W. Eastleigh UK.
> We had a fantastic time, the beach and the lake for the kids was a great hit, as was the adventure park. Fabulous restaurants within easy walking distance was a bonus. We found the house to be very comfortable for all of us. We'll be back. Mr G Ile et Vilaine France
We were so pleased with the Villa, very comfortable, everything we could need, loved Bretignolles it had a lovely family fun feel to it. The beach being so close was fantastic, the older children went down on their own and we loved the fact we were not forced to use the car and strolled along the seafront to the restaurant. Great place, thoroughly recommend it. Mr. W. Leeds UK
Great idea having the two cookers, us women all mucked in and catering for all 12 of us wasnt a problem. Likewise with the seating around the table, it was fun to be all together. the house was spacious and didnt feel like we were on top of one another, with seperate lounge and seperate dining room we spread out. Nice having the kitchen seperate too. Well thought out. Best bit was just a minute or two from the beach, loved sitting on that seat at the end of the road looking over the sea and watching the sun set. We had so much fun. Mrs B Chester UK
