Charming Traditional Vendeen Cottage sleeping 4 in the peaceful countryside

Situated in a small hamlet, on the edge of the village in the peace of the countryside but only a short drive to the EC blue flag award beaches including la Tranche sur mer, a family resort with many bars and restaurants. 30 mins drive to the lively resort of Les Sables d'Olonne with many bars and restaurants and famous for the Vendee Globe yacht race. 50 mins drive to the famous port of La Rochelle, and the chic island of Ile de Re. In 2020 the famous Vendee globe single handed around the world yacht race departs. The south Vendee is well known by the French for holding onto it's family holiday traditions, and remains very popular with the French for this reason. Perfect for cycling and walking, just 5 mins walk from the lake with fishing, boating and many picnic areas. Chez Marthe is just 5 mins drive from the up and coming local wine growing area, which has recently received an upgrade to AOC - follow the wine route to discover and taste at the many producers.

About the host

Hosted by NICK PEARSON

Host profile image
As confirmed Francophiles for many years, we bought our own house for holidays in 1989. We spent all possible time here & decided to make the permanent move in 1998 to make a life-style change. Marthe was our first and best French friend here, a delightful old lady who 'adopted' us and became our French Granny. When she made the decision to move to the retirement home she was delighted for us to buy her house, which is now the holiday cottage, 'Chez Marthe'. Moving to France has allowed us time to expand our creative abilities - Susanne with her embroidery and Nick with his painting, using the treasures found on the beach. In summer we can be found at many markets. Susanne also teaches English to French adults.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a house for holidays near enough to the Channel Ports for a long weekend as well as longer holidays and the Vendee was perfect. Now even better, it's in easy reach of Nantes, la Rochelle and Poitiers airports. We also chose the Vendee for it's fabulous beaches, unspoilt countryside and climate (one of France's micro-climates, mild winters and warm summers). It is called the Cote de lumiere because of it's above average hours of sunshine. The Vendee still has that traditional family holiday feeling, how we used to remember our holidays when we were children.

What makes this property unique

We are in the calm of the countryside, but only 15 minutes from the fabulous beaches, we are able to enjoy the lively resorts but are able to retreat to the calm at the end of the day. Ideally situated for a countryside and/or a beach holiday. As we are very interested in birds and wildlife, it's a fantastic area to see unusual species of birds and animals unseen in England, there are several nature reserves nearby.

Also included in the price.... the opportunity to learn or improve your English with Susanne, who teaches English to the French.
