About the home

La Treille is a delightful gite, renovated to a high standard. It is set in the two acre garden 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 play. 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 (please bring your own towels for poolside use.......or for a small fee, poolside towels can be provided upon request) 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 for a small additional charge.

Facilities

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 for hours; an American-style riding stable just minutes away which offers lessons or accompanied rides through the woods for adults and children; The forest of Mervent with it's 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.

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 (fantastic beaches), and not so far from the Western Loire and its famous châteaux.

La Caillere is located in the bocage area of the Vendee, an area of rolling countryside dotted with lakes and forests.

There are many historical places of interest and great theme parks at Puy-du-Fou (45min) and Futuroscope (90min). There are also 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 (around an hour) provides a great day out for the family - check out its website www.puydufou.com/uk.

The La Caillere Saint-Hilaire area

La Caillere is a large village with a range of shops consisting of a small well stocked super market, boulangerie, boucherie, poissonerie (weekends only), pharmacie, banks, bar/tabac, petrol station, pizzeria and restaurant. There is also a football pitch for ball games and a skateboard park about 5 minutes walk away.

Around La Caillere there are many tracks and lanes perfect for walking and cycling.

Of the many places to visit nearby are Fontenay-le-Comte with its ancient streets of Renaissance houses, Vouvant one of the most beautiful villages in France and the vast Mervent-Vouvant forest to name just a few.

We have a superb salt water swimming pool and a hard tennis court on site

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.

We and our two children had a wonderful, relaxed break. We have already booked for next year - very unusual to be so organised, but can't wait to come back.
