Sunflower Cottage is set in a rural farming hamlet in the beautiful and sunny Southern Vendée Region of France, not far from the towns of Fontenay-le-Comte and La Roche sur Yon.
The Vendée lies between the Côte d'Argent and Brittany but with a character all of its own. The cottages are about an hour from the magnificent Atlantic beaches, and inland, surrounding the cottages, the quiet countryside remains unspoilt. There are fields of sunflowers in the summer, small streams and rivers to explore and many historic and ancient towns and villages, often with morning markets. There are several Chateaux in the area, as well as vineyards open for wine-tasting or you can hire a punt and explore the Marais Poitevin. The magnificent theme park of Puy du Fou is close by.
Although we do not have a swimming pool at the cottages, less than 15 minutes drive away is a fabulous heated open-air swimming pool available for the public to enjoy.
It has a water chute, toddlers pool, sunloungers, terraces for sunbathing and large grassy areas for picnics. It is very reasonable priced, with a large free carpark.
Just a couple of minutes walk through the hamlet is a beautiful chateau, still owned and lived in by the descendents of the original family. Past the chateau there are open fields, woods and streams, making the area perfect for country walks and bird-watching.
Nearest boulangerie is in Bazoges-en-Pareds (2 kms), an historical and interesting village with a Donjon Medieval Tower and gardens open to the public. There is also a bar and exceptional restaurant. For shopping the town of Chantonnay provides a range of shops for all tastes. There is a weekly market and a Centre Commercial with a Hyper U, Petol Station, Ma Campagne, Sports World etc.
Just north of the cottages, is a beautiful leisure lake, Lac de Rochereau, for boating, canoeing, picnics, fishing, walks and swimming in summer. The lake has a sandy beach and a large grassed area with picnic tables. Free parking. It is possible to hire canoes/kayaks in the summer. Outdoor swimming pool in the nearby village of Mouilleron-en-Pareds, which also has several bistros, bank, boulangerie, bars, etc. The Forest of Mervent has a zoo and very popular theme park, as well as a beautiful lake, restaurants, bike trails and walks.
