LOCATION
Located in a hamlet yet well placed for all amenities and the fabulous pine forests and sandy beaches of the coast. The nearest village of La Caillere is 2.5kms away and has all services including a boulangerie, Spa supermarket, butcher, authentic bars and restaurant. The town of La Chataigneraie is situated 10mins away which has a number of large supermarkets and many other shops and restaurants. The historic town of Fontenay le Comte is approximately 20 mins away and is well worth a visit especially on market days (Saturday mornings). Not forgetting our own bar at St Sulpice where you can enjoy mixing with the locals whilst buying your baguette.
The Vendée is a very popular region with visitors, especially those with children, above all for the coastline and family entertainment. The name ‘Vendée’ is taken from the river that meanders through the south-east of the department. A microclimate, said to be similar to that of the Côte d'Azur, ensures that 2,500 hours of sunshine beam down on its 140km of sandy beaches each year, the nearest of which to La Maison Neuve is the bustley coastal town of La Faute sur Mer, approximately 40 minutes away.

THINGS TO DO
The first place you would think of boating in this region is around the waterways of the Marais Poitevin, or "Green Venice" area. At several villages you can rent flat-bottomed boats and paddle around a delightful maze of tiny canals, lined with overhanging trees. Nearer to La Maison Neuve is the village of Sigourney (15 mins) and the town of Chantonnay (20 mins) with lovely man-made beaches where you can swim in the lakes or paddle around in a canoe.
Fishing - A "carte pêche-vacances" (holiday fishing permit) is available for holidaymakers, and is valid for all non-private waters in the Vendée. Available through tackle shops, or contact us if you would like us to get you a permit. There is a local fishing/picnic lake in close proximity to La Maison Neuve where carp, roach, tench, perch, bream, pike, eels and trout are all readily available and daily passes can be obtained upon your behalf; also nearby is the stunning Lake De Rochereau which also offers superb fishing in great scenery.. Within 30 minutes drive of La Maison Neuve, is a man-made fishing complex of 100 hectares of lakes set in 150 hectares of parkland with restaurant facilities.
Golf - There are 15 golf courses within an hour and a half of La Maison Neuve, 4 of which are only 45 minutes away, suitable for all levels. The courses themselves are beautiful and spacious, especially early in the week, usually have great restaurants and are open to all - non-members as well as members. If you don’t have your clubs with you, they are available for hire at the course.
Mervent is only a very short drive from the gite and it has a dam and a large reservoir. The area has been developed with tourism in mind. There are large wooded areas ideal for walking and particularly mountain biking. There are places where pedalos and wind surfers can be hired, and wind surfing lessons are offered at reasonable rates. There are also restaurants, a small zoo and a very extensive fun park known as 'Pierre Brune', which has dozens of rides from castles, crazy bikes, and slides to hamster wheels and see-saws. This is good value at approximately £3.
The Indian Forest (approx an hour) is an amazing day out for all ages, even teenagers! It has bouncy castles and paddling pools for toddlers together with zip wires and varying levels of tree swinging and controlled bungee jumping (not for the feint hearted!). You can even rent a tree house for a night and swing through the trees in the dark. In busy periods it is wise to book in advance and there are height restrictions on some activities.
Beaches - nearest beach La Faute sur Mer is approx 40 minutes drive.
Ideal area for walks, cycling, horse riding and many other activities.
Distances:
St Malo approx 3 hours drive
Caen approx 4.5 hours drive
Calais approx 6 hours drive
