About this property
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.
Maison Bocage is set in the small Vendée town of Montournais, almost equidistant between Poitiers and Nantes in western France. This is a superb location for a variety of wonderful day trips from Le Puy du Fou theme park to the historic sites of the Loire Valley and even the vast sandy beaches of the Vendée coastline.
From the front door, it’s just a short and easy walk to the village’s bakery, a small grocery store, tabac, bakery and a restaurant. For further amenities, the nearby town of Pouzauges (8.5km) offers a supermarket, cafés and additional dining options alongside the medieval Château de Pouzauges with guided tours. Pouzauges’ weekly market takes place on a Thursday morning.
The true jewel of the area lies just 25 minutes away by car. Le Puy du Fou is a world-renowned historical theme park unlike any other. With no rollercoasters in sight, the park instead stages awe-inspiring live shows: from Viking invasions and Roman gladiators to bird-of-prey ballets and medieval jousts, each performance is a cinematic experience brought to life with hundreds of actors, animals and breathtaking effects. For an unforgettable evening, the spectacular nighttime show La Cinéscénie immerses you in Vendéen history with holograms, fireworks and vast storytelling on a grand outdoor stage.
Guests looking to venture further can enjoy easy day trips to the Atlantic coast. Sunseekers and beach lovers will find golden sands at La Tranche-sur-Mer (85km) or Les Sables-d’Olonne (98km), both perfect for a refreshing change of scene with sea air, fresh seafood and classic French coastal charm.
For those drawn to history and wine, the Loire Valley awaits just 90 minutes away. Explore the riverside elegance of Saumur (93km), sample local vintages in picturesque vineyards (including Saumur’s own sparkling white) or wander the grand halls of Fontevraud Abbey (94km), one of the largest monastic sites in Europe and the resting place of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Whether you’re seeking spectacle, nature or culture, Maison Bocage offers an enchanting gateway to the very best of Vendée and beyond.
