Surroundings
The Abbey of Maillezais
About a 40-minute drive from the campground is the Abbey of Maillezais. You can visit remains of the church and monastery from the 10th century, or visit the museum. Near the abbey is the beautiful nature reserve Marais Poitevin, also known as the "Green Venice" because of its many canals. A visit to Maillezais Abbey can therefore be well combined with a boat trip or walk through this unique marshland.
Explore the area on foot or by bicycle!
There are no less than 228 hiking trails throughout the Vendée and the region has one of the largest bicycle networks in France, with a total of 1,800 kilometers of bike paths. Time to hit the road, then. For example, visit the Original Velo Tours in Fontenay le Comte. Here you can take a guided gastronomic bike tour of the area.
Puy du Fou amusement park (44 km).
Instead of traditional roller coasters and merry-go-rounds, this amusement park offers shows and spectacles based on historical events and legends. Visit the show 'Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantômes,' where falcons and other birds of prey fly around freely and put on an impressive show. At "Les Vikings," a ship carrying a bunch of Vikings is attacked by another ship carrying looters. There are also night shows and shows based on the life of Joan of Arc and the Musketeers. In addition to the shows, there are historic villages to explore, including a medieval village and a village from Roman times. A visit to Puy de Fou is definitely a unique and unforgettable experience.
Visit Vouvant
This beautiful medieval village is within biking distance of the campground. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in France, it is situated on the banks of the Vendée River. It has impressive fortifications from the 11th century, with towers and gates still intact. At the center of the village is the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre, which dates back to the 12th century. The old bridge over the Vendée River is also worth a visit, with fantastic views of the surrounding area. If you like art, you've come to the right place; there are several art galleries and studios. Vouvant is also known for its annual medieval festival, when the entire village is transformed into a medieval scene with markets, music, dancing and costumes.

Liked: We had a lovely spacious pitch, close to the amenities. The camp site is picturesque with its position by the lake and has an excellent restaurant adjacent to the swimming pool. We were very well looked after by the owners Arno and Leonor who kept an eye on us during some inclement weather. We really enjoyed our stay with them on the site.

Very secluded campsite, far from the Puy du Fou, the chalets had an unbearable smell, we had to wash our things at least 3 times because the smell was so strong, musty, damp and gassy, we reported it to the owners who didn't "smell anything". Strange as our neighbors had the same problem. I wouldn't recommend it.

Camping très retiré et loin du Puy du Fou, les chalets avaient une odeur insupportable, nous avons dû laver au moins 3 fois nos affaires tellement cette odeur était forte, une odeur de moisi, d'humidité et de gaz, nous l'avons signalé aux propriétaires qui ne "sentaient rien". Bizarre car nos voisins avaient le même problème. Je ne recommanderai pas.

Very disappointed by the friendliness of the owners, the hygiene of the cottage remains to be desired, a lot of moisture, stained pillows and comforter! Concerning the lake, it's not free as indicated on the campsite form. I don't recommend this place for people who want to enjoy camping or even their vacations.

Très déçu par l’amabilité des propriétaires, l’hygiène du chalet reste à désirer, beaucoup d’humidité, des oreillers et couette tachées ! Concernant le lac, il n’est pas gratuit comme indiqué sur le formulaire du camping. Je ne recommande pas cet endroit pour des personnes qui souhaite profitez du camping ou même de leurs vacances.
