The Vendee is a beautiful area of France and the only area whose
climate compares to that of the South of France. There are an abundance of woodlands and lakes which would be
of interest to walking enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and those who like fishing. Many chateau, donjons, and churches
to explore. Old villages and towns steeped in history.
The Puy du Fou - great extravaganza of outdoor shows
with huge settings like the Roman Coliseum with real lions and chariots, is near us. See
www.puydufou.com for
more information. The Cinescenie evening show is the greatest light show in Europe.
Venice Verte (Green Venice)
is a labyrinth or canals where boats are for hire to travel through the canals tunnelling through overhanging trees.
At the end of June/July there are fields of sunflowers everywhere - an awesome sight.
