About the home

A traditional French 2 storied cottage added to the 300-year old farmhouse we think in the 1930s, Grandmere's offers spacious holiday accommodation, with large sitting room, kitchen/diner and bathroom on the ground floor, and two bedrooms upstairs. One of the 3 sofas in the sitting room converts to a double bed.

Well fitted out and newly decorated in 2010, Grandmere's is well placed to relax ion the balcony, walk or cycle on the extensive local tracks, or drive further afield to attractions such as Futuroscope or Puy du Fou, or cities like La Rochelle, Niort or Nantes.

We try to make our guests feel this is their home during their stay. We therefore provide those useful things that are difficult in small quantities - salt, pepper, toilet rolls, cooking/olive oil, etc. We provide all domestic towels and linen and also beach/pool towels.

Grandmere's - Terrace and Entrance

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Vendee region

Known for warm dry summers (3 days' rain in 4 months in 2009), the Vendee is popular as a holiday destination, with visitors coming from the UK, Belgium, Holland and Germany, as well as from within France. The landscape is essentially rural, with rolling countryside, mainly below 220 metres elevation.

The Vouvant area

Warm summers, long (and can be fairly hot (38C) days). Lots of history. This was once "English" Aquitaine - Queen Eleanor's home at Neuil sur l'Autize is only 30km away. The Venise Verte (the drained fens) are also an interesting tourist attraction, with trips in powered craft, canoes and punts. There is a good bar/restaurant in the village (2km) and several more in the surrounding area. Futuroscope and Puy du Fou are each just over an hour away. Varied beaches (from very quiet to frenetic are within an hour-and-a-quarter, although all can be busy in July and August. There are several inland lakeside "beaches" and watersport facilities within half an hour. There is an extensive network of cycle/walking tracks, and several riding stables locally.
