The Vendée is part of the Pays de la Loire region. With its bucolic charm, Atlantic beaches and picturesque villages, it appeals to travellers in search of tranquillity. For a relaxing getaway, book a gîte en Vendée : with your family, as a couple, on your own or with friends, you can enjoy independent accommodation and a wide choice of nearby activities (sea, nature, heritage).
The gîte is furnished and equipped accommodation rented out for a short period (a few days à a few weeks). They can be found in the countryside, by the seaside or near tourist attractions, and are sometimes classified as being of particular character or charming. It offers independence and privacy: kitchen, living room, bedrooms and often an exterior. In contrast, the chambre d'h&eocirc;tes privilégie offers a change of scene with the hôtes around breakfast.
The gîtes have all the necessities for daily living (électroménager, linen according to formulas). The notion of a charming gîte is subjective, but in the Vendée it is often associated with stone buildings, cottages or villas close to the ocean. For more guarantees, going through labels like Gîtes de France helps you choose a gîte in Vendée suited to your budget and your desires.
Renting a gîte in Vendée makes it easy to radiate the Atlantic coast and the hinterland. Organise your holiday at Saint-Jean-de-Monts or at Sables-d’Olonne to enjoy the great beaches and, some winters, experience the start of the Vendée Globe.
Since Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, embark for the Île d’Yeu, côté Noirmoutier, décover the salt marshes and join the île à marée basse peninsula. In La Roche-sur-Yon, the National Stud tells the story of the sold horse. Near Le Puy du Fou, book a holiday in the Vendée to see some major historical shows. The gites in la Tranche sur Mer are renowned for their family atmosphere and their surf spots. Wherever you stay, you can alternate between swimming, walks, local markets and cultural visits, with the freedom of schedule that a gite offers.
Before you arrive and after you leave, a thorough cleaning is carried out, with notices explaining the cleaning procedures. The owners are on hand to welcome visitors and provide assistance, and are always on hand to share tips and advice. Hygiene measures (including the provision of hydro-alcoholic gel depending on the accommodation) complete the facilities for a peaceful stay. When you choose a gite in Vendée, you combine comfort, independence and coverage of an authentic region.
