The Area:

It is a pleasant 10 minute walk into Fontenay le Comte, which is a bustling town with a wide variety of shops, bars and restaurants. There is a hypermarket within 5 minutes drive from the house, and another a short drive across town. The oldest part of town is charming and beautifully lit at night.

Fontenay is ideally placed to enable you to enjoy the nearby coast or countryside. A 20 minute drive takes you to the Mervent forest with walks, cycle tracks and a lake with boats for hire in season.

Within 30 minutes to one hour’s drive there are various pretty towns and villages, all with something to offer the visitor. One example is Vouvant. This picturesque village on a bend in the River Vendee is known for its artists and there are beautiful walks around the walls of it’s ruined castle.

From Fontenay head towards the coast and La Rochelle and you find yourself in the Marais Poitevin. This is an area of quiet waterways where you can take boat trips or hire boats. Again, walking, cycling and fishing are all available.

La Rochelle is also worth a visit with it’s smart shops, atmospheric cafes, bars and restaurants and the beautiful old port.
Les Sables D’Olonne is slightly further afield, which is a larger coastal resort with long sandy beaches.

There are a variety of gardens, chateaux, abbeys, tourist attractions and museums in the area.

For golf enthusiasts, there are courses at La Rochelle, Niort, Maziere-en-Gatine and near Roche-sur-Yonne, all of which are between 35 minutes and 1 hour away.

There are plenty of activities for all to enjoy within the vicinity. We are happy to provide details of the various activities listed, just ask.
