Home description
La Treille is a delightful gite, recently tastefully renovated to a high standard. It is set in the two acre park of the owner’s home, where there is a 10m x 5m salt-water swimming pool, a hard tennis court and plenty of room for children to run off steam or make a camp in one of the wooded areas. Or perfect for you to lounge around on a comfy sunbed, catching up on all that reading! There are two double bedrooms (one with a double bed the other with two singles); a bathroom with WC, washbasin, bath with shower over; a large salon with two extremely generous sofas, TV/DVD, dining table, well stocked bookcase and large wood-burning stove; the kitchen is fully equipped with fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and the various bits and pieces you might hope to find. All linen and towels are supplied by the owner and a change of bedding can be arranged at the end of each week. Baby paraphernalia is available on request. The gite can be centrally heated during the colder weeks.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vendee region
The Vendee has a similar amount of sunshine hours per year as the South of France, but mercifully less intense. With lush countryside, the 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. La Treille is less than an hour from coast, and not far from the Western Loire and its famous châteaux. There are many towns and cities to explore (about an hour by car) – La Rochelle, Nantes, Niort, Cholet. La Roche sur Yon (45 mins), Poitiers (90 mins). The Grand Parc du Puy du Fou (over an hour) provides a great day out for the family - check out its website www.puydufou.com/uk.
La Caillere Saint-Hilaire area
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. La Treille sits directly on an extensive network of clearly marked footpaths – there is a selection of easy-to-follow maps in the gite.

Further details indoors: The double bedroom is large and looks out over lawn to the tennis court and the swimming pool beyond. There is a comfortable chair and low table providing a private area for reading or relaxing. The salon, too, has the emphasis on comfort - two large sofas, a selection of music, a choice of DVDs, masses of books (english) and a woodburning stove for those autumn or spring evenings. The kitchen is equipped to make your stay as easy as possible and there's plenty of storage space.
Further details outdoors: An enormous network of clearly marked footpaths lead from La Treille and you can go for a stroll or ramble hours; an American-style riding stable just minutes away offers lessons or accompanied rides through the woods for adults and children; the forest of Mervent with its mountain bike centre is 15 minutes away; the 127 hectare lac Rocherau is nearby with fishing, boating and a beach. The seemingly endless sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast are about an hour distant where you can take advantage of the Vendée's wonderful climate. And for the more culturally minded, the numerous chateaux of the Loire, local museums and galleries are waiting to be explored.
