Guestbook for Les Papillons
"The house was fantastic for all of us - loads of room to lounge around and plenty of space for the kids. We really enjoyed the beach at Les Conches by far the best and we tried a few!"
The Olivers, Surrey
"Les Papillons is a lovely place to stay for a relaxing family holiday in the Vendee. The house, pool and garden are a beautifully self-contained oasis and you have been perfect and unobtrusive hosts."
The Yates, Lancashire
"The pool has provided many an afternoons entertainment, we were all happy to relax next to the pool after a late lunch. We have also enjoyed a full day at Puy de Fou, spectacular shows and well worth the journey."
The Pinkhams, Gloucestershire
"Les Papillons has exceeded our expectations - the website does not do it justice. We have enjoyed the games in the house, introduced the boys to Monopoly and Cluedo - they loved them. Visited the Aquarium at La Rochelle, got there at 09:45, beat the crowds!"
The Hills, Leicestershire
