Villa Les Terrières is located in the quiet suburb of La Tranche called Les Terrières! It is within easy walking distance of the beaches (although you may want to drive if you are taking a picnic and beach equipment with you) and is close to local shops and a great little pizzeria near the beach!

The area is a perfect place for family holidays - with lots of long beaches, water sports (surfing, sailing, kayaks and body boarding), cycle paths, karting tracks and lots of entertainment laid on over the summer months.

The area around La Tranche sur Mer is very flat (built on land reclaimed from the sea over 4 centuries ago) and very tranquille - lots of large open fields with sunflowers and maize growing, teeming with wildlife and ideal for country walks or cycling.

Within a 30 minute drive of the villa is the O'Gliss Water Park, the Château des Aventuriers treasure trail, the O'Fun Adventure Park and the Jardins du Court d’Aron at St Cyr en Talmondais - great for young children - with an area of young animals to pet, tranquil walks around the large parkland and lotus lake and summer shows with a tropical theme.

The Old Port of La Rochelle and the Ile de Ré are around an hours’ drive; here you will find a large pleasure marina, bustling shopping streets filled with local boutiques, harbour-side restaurants with al fresco dining areas and boat trips to the Ile d'Aix or Fort Boyard. The marina area comes alive in the evenings, with street entertainers, music festivals and craft markets in the summer.

Further afield is the Marais Poitevin Regional Park - a beautiful area of canals, ruined abbeys, and pretty riverside villages - a relaxing day out - punting on the waterways and exploring local history.

The 'Must See' attraction of the Vendée is the Grand Parc du Puy du Fou (80 minutes away) - with Gladiators, Vikings, Knights, Musketeers and a fantastic Bird of Prey show, not to mention the spectacular evening show with over a 1000 participants - you could easily spend two whole days here!

We had a fantastic stay. The house was very well equipped and clean.
We enjoyed having a HobyCat lesson in La Tranche, a day out at the Venise Verte and ate at L'Auberge de L'Abbaye which was lovely.
we had a very nice meal at La Cayola on the way to Les Sables d'Olonne for our wedding anniversary.
The kids enjoyed Finfarine (Beekeeping place that serves fantastic honey). The market at La Faute sur Mer is the best in the area, with lots of merchants.
We will re-book this place again!

What a lovely villa, very well equipped - thank you Jürgen & Sarah (owners). We loved the outside space. The teenagers enjoyed the pool and the outside 'speaker'!
We hired bikes from 'Cycles Bien Eric' - David was very helpful - good cycle routes.
