In the small Vendée town of Montournais, Maison Bocage welcomes guests to a beautifully renovated home where traditional charm meets modern style. This spacious, detached house is set within a generous garden, offering families and groups a stylish base from which to discover the treasures of the Vendée region and beyond. With characterful interiors and plenty of space to relax, it’s perfect for a few nights’ pause or a longer adventure into western France.

Inside, you’ll find four inviting bedrooms sleeping up to ten guests, including an en-suite master with a romantic bath tub in the bedroom and two separate bathrooms. A traditional kitchen-diner and living area both feature charmingly tiled floors and doors leading to the back lawned garden for long lunches and games of table tennis. Back inside, a second lounge with TV and table football promises relaxed downtime for all ages. With Wi-Fi throughout and all the practical touches of home, every comfort has been thoughtfully considered.

Step out and you’re just a short stroll from the essentials – a boulangerie for your morning croissants, a local tabac, small grocer and a restaurant. Meanwhile, the town of Pouzauges (8.5km) offers a traditional weekly market, a historic château and a choice of dining options.

Just 25 minutes away lies Le Puy du Fou, one of Europe’s most unique theme parks, famed for its dazzling live spectacles and immersive historical experiences. Whether you’re marvelling at Viking raids, medieval jousts or the magical evening Cinéscénie show, it’s a day out not easily forgotten.

Maison Bocage is also well placed for day trips further afield to the Loire Valley’s grand châteaux or the Atlantic coast’s vast beaches. However you spend your days, this handsome home invites you to return each evening to charming and effortless French living.

• Despite its central location in a small Vendée town, a car is essential to be able to reach wider amenities and explore this wonderful region.
