Further details
Discovering gourmet restaurants, visiting the Chateau and the Saturday market or just walking along the banks of the river Vendee. Les Garnes is ideal for holidaymakers who enjoy day trips to places of interest on and around the Atlantic coast, yet it is just far enough from those main tourist areas to be totally tranquil; the pattern of French rural life soon envelops holidaymakers here. From the Atlantic Coast to the Vendée Bocage, through the Poitevin marshland. The Vendée now has some 800km-worth of cycle paths – which will eventually be extended to a thousand km of safe, waymarked trails. There are three circuits in the Vendée: the coastal circuit (180 km), passing through nature spots (dunes, woodland and marshland) and accessing all of the coastal communities; the Poitevin marshland circuit (140 km), setting off from the Aiguillon Bay and crossing the main marsh channels, up to Maillezais Abbey and on to Mervent-Vouvant Forest, and last but not least the Bocage circuit (over 470 km), along which you can complete a loop more than 275 km long through farmland, past such remarkable sites as the Puy du Fou®, Historial, Logis de la Chabotterie and Château de Tiffauges.
Owner profile
Happy days with French neighbours [us on the left]
About the owner
We are a retired couple, living in North Wales but spending half the year in the sunny Vendee maintaining and servicing our gites, gardens and heated pools (not a bad life!). Our properties are totally private within their own private gardens with private heated pools; they are not on shared sites but a few kilometres apart. There are no owners on site but each property is within 20 minutes drive from where we stay whilst in France. All the facilities at each property are for the sole use of our guests too - nothing is shared. We have more than 20 years experience to draw on and can advise you personally about travel, places to go and things to do. If you come over with just immediate family for company, with friends or as an extended family, please consider one of our lovely properties.
Year purchased: 1998
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We purchased our first property, Les Garnes, over 20 years ago and the business developed as more and more family, friends and friends of friends started to come over to stay. So we bought our second property Les Moullieres as a smaller retreat but folk still found us!
We chose the area because of the Mediterranean like climate and its relative proximity to the ferry ports [3 hours from St Malo] and the west coast beaches [45 minutes drive]. We are situated away from tourist hotspots but are close enough to enjoy all the tourist attractions - perfect! The properties are rural but not isolated and facilities such as shops, banks, doctors and dentist and restaurants are within easy reach.
Unique benefits of the property
We do not live on-site; nothing is shared; everything is very private. We offer rural seclusion without isolation; modern facilities within traditional settings. The kitchens are very well equipped, for the keen cooks, with a dishwasher, of course. Les Garnes and Les Moullieres have large private gardens with big BBQs, secure heated pools [10x5m - 33 ft long] and a choice of patios. There is a pool table and table tennis in each. Les Moullieres also has a full size snooker table.
