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.
