Farmhouse in Ste Christine, Near Fontenay le Comte, Vendee Reviews

A wonderful french farmhouse
We had a wonderful week. The farmhouse is situated in a quiet village. The farmhouse has all the equipment you needed and is maintained to a high standard. Local amenities are only 5 mins away by car. There is so much to do in the area - La Rochelle and the coast is only 45 mins away, nearby there are lots for children to do, waterways where you can hire canoes, and beautiful abbeys. The area has something for everyone!

Peace, perfect peace


We arrived at the farmhouse on Sunday evening, to be welcomed by the owners, Lina and Simon and a bottle of the local rose wine. Sainte Christine is a lovely part of the world with lots to explore around the house and area. Lina and Simon lovely and were a great source of information regarding the local events and would always be on hand to help should we need them.... particularly when our grandson's plane got stuck up one of the trees, Simon was there with the means to rescue it.

We visited Coulon (famous for the 'Green Venice', Niort, which we found excellent and nearby Benet has a super bakery (visited often) and an Intermarche for supplies of all sorts.

The children were able to go horse riding at stables next door, and the owners loaned us the canoe for boating experiences on the nearby waterway.

I would go back tomorrow.....it was total magic.
