Location Petosse is a 10 minute drive away from the lovely and historic town of Fontenay le Comte, where all the normal supermarkets and shops can be found, along with its fantastic, mouth-watering Saturday morning market and surrounding café’s and restaurants, where it is quite easy to while away several hours!

Other local markets are held in St. Hermine on a Friday morning, and a small market on Wednesday mornings in the village of L’hermenault, which is only 4km away and has a excellent bread shop, butchers, post office, bank and small supermarket.


The town of Lucon is close by (20 mins). This also has an excellent Saturday morning market and is well worth a visit. From here it is only a 10-15 minute drive to the nearest coast and wonderful sandy beaches. If you fancy some energetic water sports, this is the place to try them! We would recommend that you head for L’Aiguillon sur Mer, La Tranche or Jard sur mer, however, most of this vendeen coastline has several miles of long sandy beaches dotted by quaint fishing and holiday villages/towns, where you are sure to find all that you want from the seaside.
Coast & beaches:
The nearest beaches are only a 45 minute drive away. The South Vendee coast has many miles of long sandy beaches dotted with quaint fishing and holiday villages and towns where you are sure to find all you want from the seaside.

Other places of interest:
La Rochelle is only a 35 minute drive away and has a fabulous indoor and outdoor market every morning. This is an exceptionally beautiful city and the main harbour is magnificently guarded by two towers and surrounded by restaurants and cafes and, during the summer months, street stalls and local artists - it must be visited!
Close by is the Venise Vert, a series of tiny canals in beautiful surrounding countryside where it is possible to hire a boat and punt you way down these wonderful waterways. And the stunning forest and lakes of Mervent are only a 15 minute drive away offering a number of water sports and numerous walks. The town of Mervent is probably one of the prettiest in the whole of France!


Sports facilities:
There is a hard, fully fenced tennis court in the village and a 'bowling' alley to play French boules. There are several golf courses less than an hours drive away and fishing, cycling and horse riding are all available nearby.

La Rochelle airport - 45 minutes drive
