About the home
This detached cottage has been completely rebuilt by its owner to provide a lovely modern house yet in keeping with its origins. The lounge features a modern wood-burner as well as exposed beams, original stonework and a wood floor. There is a modern fitted kitchen and both floors have a shower room with basin and separate toilet. Outside is a large enclosed garden, perfect for sitting quietly in the shade of the hot summer sun. In the heart of the Marais Poitevin canal network you can hire canoes and there are several pretty local villages and markets and the beaches of the Vendée and Charente are within an hour’s drive.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vendee region


Vendee is the second sunniest place of France after Cote Azur in fact it is known in France as 'la côte de lumière'. The department takes its name after the river that flows though its old capital, Fontenay le Comte.
There are number of different tourist attractions in Vendee and neighbouring departments.
Coal mine and near by lake is just a few minutes drive away from the house. In the same direction you could immers yourself in the Forest of Mervent.
Reserve yourself a day to visit Puy du Fou, spend some time on our beaches or just for fun, rent a boat and explore some 850km of canals in the Marais Poitevin!!!!
The Saint Sigismond, Vendee area
Saint Sigismond is a small village in the heart of the MArais Poitevin - Green Venice that has its own little port, where you can have a snac before you get to explore our part of Vendee from the water level, hire it for the night trip and see how we set water on fire.... (not a joke)
You can book a hot air balloon trip (subject to availability and the weather) to see it from the sky, or hire the bike in Damvix and make your way to the Ocean (27km). In the evening you can visit the Maillzais Abbey for an outdoor concert!
In fact there is so much to do, that I will be adding more to this space!
