The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vendee region

The Vendee is famous for its miles of lovely sandy beaches. There is such a wide variety to choose from - La Terriere & Les Conches for surfing & bodyboarding, La Tranche for family entertainment and La Faute sur Mer for sandcastles & picnics, and not forgetting the rockpools at St Vincent & Jard sur Mer!

The region comes to life in the summer months, with many local markets and festivals in the surrounding towns & villages, along with a great programme of entertainment in the seaside resorts. The weather is usually hot in July & August, but is just as warm in June & September if you would prefer to avoid the crowds!

In Autumn, winter and early spring the area is great for walking and cycling holidays - there are lots of places to spot the local wildlife and migratory birds.

The Lairoux area

Lairoux is close to the town of Luçon, with its historic cathedral and bustling weekly market. In the summer, there are many organised events here - such as open air concerts, musical evenings in the town centre and huge street markets and travelling fairgrounds.

Lairoux has its own bar within walking distance and food is served during the daytime.

The seaside towns of La Faute & La Tranche have entertainment most evenings - with concerts, fairs, the circus and beach sports events.

Every weekend in spring & summer there is a wide selection of village markets, selling local produce - foods, wines, gifts and artwork. There are also lots of flea markets and car boot sales to rummage through.

“Total Relaxation” This villa is a gem. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tidy, the rooms were spacious and it has all the amenities you could wish for. The pool was large, clean and wonderful for jumping into when the temperature rocketed to 35 degrees! The holiday was so relaxing we did very little else except sit and enjoy the peace. I wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again.

“Spiders, ants in bedroom, cold water and dirty pool” On arrival we were disappointed about the house as it was not clean at all. We removed about 20 spiders and one of the bedrooms was useless – because of ants (hundreds) invading the beds. We cleaned the house and called for assistance regarding the ants - and the pool which was not suitable for human bathing… The ants was removed the next day and after three days we where able to use the pool. But unfortunately we had no hot water for 24 hours and for the last four days – there where only hot water in one of the bathrooms. We stayed 2 families in the house so it was a bit of a problem. The owner, and his assistant worked hard to get the house back to “normal” – but for a one week stay – it was not time to fix all the problems regarding the house which could be nice, if it was better looked after. The area is nice and you have the sandy beaches just 20 minutes away. Response: We are sorry that these guests did not enjoy staying here. As soon as we were made aware of the problems in the house, we started to sort them out - the previous guests had turned the hot water tanks off, the bedroom was cleaned and sprayed with ant powder and the pool was sorted. We were not made aware of the later hot water problem, and no other guests have since pointed this out to us, so I'm not sure what happened with that??

“Disappointed on arrival to find a musty / damp smell and the gite very dusty.” On arrival we found the gite to be unclean, it was damp smelling and rather dark and unwelcoming. Mandy and Keith were very friendly and worked hard to make things better they took all of the bedding away to be rewashed and a new mattress was delivered on day 3. The gite was large and quite comfortable and it grew on us as the week went on - thankfully the weather was kind. The swimming pool was not clean by the end of the week and was unused because of this on the last day. Response: As soon as we were aware of problems at the house, people were sent round to solve them - either new bedding or extra pool cleaning. (The area had suffered from a lot of heavy rain in the days leading up to this visit and the house may have suffered with the damp - not usually a problem in our hot, dry summers!)

“Rural France at its best!” Photos of the villa on the website are just as it is a beautiful old building in a small hamlet surrounded by fields, although there is some through traffic noise from the road through the village. The house and the large pool/garden area are very well equipped including table tennis table and even bicycles for the energetic. It is situated close to Lucon, which has a good selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets. The local contact was extremely helpful during the booking process and with any problems during the visit. A short drive to local beaches, some of which have life guards, but far enough away to be in real France! The perfect way to unwind.
