This exceptional property is located in historical Vendée and has may sites and chateaux to visit. Not far from Nantes and Angers, a trip full of discoveries with your family is waiting for you.
First let’s mention Puy Du Fou: this historical theme park located twenty-five minutes away from Pure Vendée has been very successful since it opened in 1989. Elected the best park in the world, it revisits history from Antiquity to modern times with with reproductions of villages from the past and very impressive shows during the day and night. Costumes, décor, special effects, magic and people of all ages can be found here. You’ll need at least two days to see everything, so it’d be good to stay nearby!
Non-fictional now, the Saint-Mesmin chateau, a 15th century medieval fortress and its keep offer medieval shows every day in season.
Another historic monument you should visit is the Oiron chateau built in the 16th century, not least for its Renaissance gallery.
The small town of Pouzauges, listed as a Small Town of Character, 15 kilometres away from the property, you should visit it for its churches, its Terrier Marteau windmills and its chateau that offers a beautiful panorama over Vendée’s wooded countryside. At nightfall, come for a guided visit in its narrow lanes. The chateau’s keep will be closed in 2019 for renovation but the park remains open.
In Nantes, the Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne but also Les Machines des Nantes are a well known must-see. Les Machines des Nantes is an artistic project inspired by the worlds invented by Jules Verne, the mechanical world of Leonardo da Vinci and Nantes’ industrial history. It provides giant and articulated elephants, herons, spiders, ants. It’ll be a big hit with the kids!
On the way, you’ll see Muscadet country on both sides of the Sèvre Nantaise and Clisson, famous for its tiled roofs and umbrella pines, reminiscent of Tuscany.
Nature is truly prominent in the region. You will be able to take full advantage of your rental in the garden and the surrounding green areas. We recommend a visit to the Maulévrier oriental park or even the Terra Botanica theme park in Angers dedicated to plants and comprised of gardens with species from all continents offering interactive activities. For something more authentic, head to the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, the Green Venice, on a boat you’ll discover natural protected heritage.
Finally, if you prefer the seaside and beaches, within a radius of a hundred kilometres, you could discover the seaside resorts of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie or Sables D’Olonne, the starting point of the famous “Vendée Globe”, a solo round the world race that takes place every four years. You can even discover the jewel of La Rochelle with its many tourist attractions.

September 2024 / Two weeks stay : "We really enjoyed our stay at the villa Pure Vendee. The weather was unfortunately colder than expected. But the house was perfect, large rooms, sufficient place to host large family's with children. Special thanks for the host, she did a great job. We also enjoyed the garden and the silence. During our stay, we went to Puy du Fou, Nantes, some villages and played golf in the neighborhood"
