We really enjoyed our 2 weeks at La Pomerie.  With so many things to do we were spoilt for choice and will have to return to visit all of the places that we didn't manage to visit this time!  The house was just wonderful.      Family  Naget

LOCATION

La Pomerie is located in a tranquil, idyllic setting yet within easy reach of the attractions of the Deux-Sevres.  Situated in the village of Chiché, between the medieval town of Parthenay and the bocage town of Bressuire. Chiché  has 2 informal Restaurants, a small Vival Supermarket, Post Office, Bank, Pharmacy, 2 Boulangeries, 2 Hairdressers, Estate Agent, tennis courts and a large General Store.  The nearest town of Bressuire is 10 minutes drive away with numerous restaurants, shops and supermarkets.  The medieval town of Parthenay with its many attractions is 20 minutes drive away.
Nearest Restaurant, bar and shops are all located 1 mile away in Chiche.

The area is excellent for walking, cycling, fishing, boating, swimming etc.  Only a 1 mile walk to a picnic area by the river with benches and boules pitches.

In just over an hour, you can be on the fantastic, sandy West Coast beaches. The world renowned Puy du Fou leisure park and amazing son et lumiere are close by and highly recommended.  As is, Futuroscope at Poitiers.

You may like to visit some of the many rivers and lakes in the area, which boast good fishing, walking and cycling.  The Venice Vert, with its miles of interlocking canals and waterways, is a great place to visit for all these activities.

For those with a love of architecture and good shopping (especially French markets!), the chic city of La Rochelle is approx 1 hour 15 minutes away.  Closer to home, are Poitiers, Niort and historic Parthenay or Fontenay Le Comte.
