Vendée

Come here in the summer (it’s closed Nov-April except by arrangement) for candlelit dining, chintzy bedrooms, long views over the park...

A top-notch stopover for the Vendée coast… minutes from the ferries of St Gilles Croix de Vie and the beaches of Bretignolles sur Mer

Bathe, boat, bicycle all round this atmospheric island, binge on seafood, then home to excellent rooms, heated pool and Jean's eager welcome

Ideal for families: pool, tennis and golf at the hotel with beach and yachting nearby. Comfortable bedrooms and a terrace for outdoor dining

30 acres to explore, a heated pool and tennis court... historic château B&B, perfect for those seeking comfort and space in the Vendée

Danielle will share her impressive local knowledge, and make you feel at home and cared for in her charming, welcoming home

Sweet little farmhouse with lovingly collected artefacts, heavenly mattresses and views over fields and forest. Annie prepares superb food
