LOCATION
We are in the South West Vendée in the beautiful National Park 'Marais Potevin' which is an area rich in history and culture where we have a mini-climate similar to the South of France.
Our gites are located in the village of Champagné Les Marais, this is a typically rural french village which provides a fine selection of facilities for locals and visitors.

Less than 1 minute (50 metres)from the gites is the very friendly boulangerie (bakers) for your French breakfast croissants, baguettes, mouthwatering fruit flans and cakes of all descriptions (an absolute must for those with a sweet tooth).
Opposite the boulangerie is a large pharmacy which has a full stock of all medication.
200 metres further along the road is the town square centered around the local ancient church. (tours of the church and belfry are arranged weekly). Here you will also find the tabac (tobbaco, sweets, newspapers, phonecards, fishing licences etc) the post office, public telephone and mini-supermarket (for all the last minute little things you may need)
Around the town square there are also two cafe / restaurants for a relaxing drink or a lunchtime / evening meal.

The nearest town is Lucon, located 9km away, this has many shops, a cathedral, beautiful 9 acre garden, and a great selection of cafes and restaurants.
La Rochelle is a must to visit, it has 19km beaches, a historic old port, lots of restaurants and cafes along the waterfront where you can sit and watch the world go by, ancient arcade shops,  Europe's largest Aquarium, and a Marina.
Venise Vert with its beautifully interlocking green canals. Mervent Forest a paradise for walkers and cyclists.
Ile de Ré is very exclusive,with long stretches of sand dunes and restaurants.
Beaches at La Tranche, La Faute, Auiguillon, La Sable. Futuroscope. Puy de Fou, step back in time with its medieval village.

SUPERB BEACHES ARE ONLY 20 - 25 MINUTES DRIVE AWAY
The Blue Flag soft sandy beaches of the South West Vendée are magnificent. Both unspoilt and uncrowded they stretch for miles and miles in one of the sunniest parts of France.  The beaches are gently sloping and clean. The sea is very calm and superb for children. Also as there are so many miles of beaches they do not get packed even at the height of the season.
Starting from the town of Auiguillon in the south of the Vendée( 20 minutes from us ) you can follow the bay through to La Faute sur mer and then onto La Tranche sur mer, all within 45 minutes gentle driving from our cottages. Always in the lea of the Ile de Ré, the beaches are gently sloping and the waves are small making them ideal for families with young children.
At Auiguillon there is a man made beach on a river inlet forming a safe lake. There is also a large slide ( flume )
but there is a charge for this and it is only open July - August.
La Tranche is a beautiful safe beach and in the town is an exhibition park / garden. The market is also well worth a visit.
La Sable d'Orlonne is about 22 miles up the coast and also has a beautiful beach but popular. It can get very, very, crowded. Go to the shops in the old part of town or see some of the lovely churches.
For the more adventurous La Conche near Longeville is where the beaches are favoured by surfers surfing on the rolling breakers of the Atlantic and still only 45 minutes away from us (not necessarily so good for young children or poor swimmers )
All the nearby beaches and directions are detailed in our Gite information booklet.


How to get there
Nearest ferry port is St Malo which is 3 hours drive, Caen is 4.5 hours drive, Calais is 6 hours drive
Nearest airport is  La Rochelle which is 35 minutes away, Nantes is 1 hour away.
