CUSTOMER REVIEWS

We had such a lovely stay in Vouille les Marais Could you please let Veronica know that she has a real treasure in Jean Claude and his family. There was a problem with the kitchen drain while we were there, and Jean Claude was vigilant about sorting it out without causing any disturbance to us at all. I only hope the problem was sorted for the next visitors. The house and pool were a dream for us and the village is just so lovely. Even the grumpy Boulanger managed a smile! I would highly recommend this property for a quiet family holiday.

We had a great holiday at the above property we all absolutely loved the villa! So much so we are thinking of going back next year

This was our 3rd holiday here, it does not disappoint. Great holiday gite in a great location. Thank you Cindy for arranging this holiday for us again.

LOCATION

Vouillé les Marais in the marais poitevin, one of the most beautiful and least known corners of France. Criss-crossed by canals passing under leafy trees with an amazing variety of wildlife and idyllic scenery, it's the perfect place for a week away from it all. A peaceful rural setting yet within easy reach of all amenities and attractions.
The village of Vouillé les Marais has a little café-bar, a small but amazingly well stocked shop (they always seem to have exactly what we need) and a boulangerie - all just a couple of minutes walk away. There's also a tiny museum which is worth poking your nose into and a lovely craft shop. There's a jam maker's workshop too.
The next-but-one village, Le Gué, has a shop and a bar where you can take your drinks over to the picnic tables by the river. It's really lovely down there and we actually prefer it to our local in Vouillé.
The nearby towns of Marans and Fontenay le Comte have very good restaurants and attractions.
The nearest town of Fontenay Le Comte is 10-15 minute drive away.
La Rochelle is 35 minute drive.
The area is excellent for walking, cycling, fishing, boating, swimming etc etc...
There are plenty of places to go and lots to do to suits all ages and tastes. These include Puy Du Fou, Mervent forest, Mervent Zoo, Ile de Re, La Rochelle aquarium, childrens adventure parks, beautiful beaches, chateau's, museums, wine tasting - the list goes on and on...

Nearest airport is La Rochelle - 35 minute drive
Nantes airport - 1 hour 15 minute drive
St malo Port - 3 hours drive
Caen Port - 4.5 hours drive
