Discover the history of Vendée

The Vendée is a region steeped in medieval heritage. Among the remains of this era that you can admire are the Maillezais Abbey and the Nieul-sur-l'Autise Abbey, 10 and 5 km respectively from your guesthouse in the heart of nature.

You will also enjoy visiting the Vendée's historic villages: Apremont (104 km), Mallièvre (68 km), Mouchamps (62 km), Pouzauges (49 km), and Vouvant (20 km).

Visit the Marais Poitevin differently

During your stopover at the Jardins de Xanton, you'll have the opportunity to discover the region in a different way. First, from the air: climb into a hot air balloon to admire the Marais Poitevin and the Green Venice from the sky!

You can also explore the surrounding area on horseback. Several equestrian centers offer rides in the forest, along the seaside, or in the Marais.

Going out and having fun with the family

When traveling with family or friends, we recommend some fun and exciting visits. Head to the La Rochelle Aquarium to learn more about 12,000 marine animals.

For equally impressive moments, spend a day at Puy du Fou. One of the best theme parks in the world immerses you in history through breathtaking shows. The Cinéscénie, the most beautiful nighttime show, is a must-see!

Visit Fontenay-le-Comte

Fontenay-le-Comte is just 8 kilometers from your bed and breakfast. Take the time to visit this village with its many attractions! A city of the Renaissance, this "City of Art and History" is well worth a visit!

Among the must-sees: the Fontaine des Quatre-Tias, the Arcades Place Belliard, the Église Notre-Dame, the Hôtel de la Sénéchaussée, and the Maison Millepertuis. Two discovery trails allow you to explore the historic center.
