Gites de France avec Octobre Rose

October is a very special month, marked by the Pink October campaign – a month dedicated to raising awareness of breast cancer, reminding each and every one of us of the importance of screening and solidarity. Furthermore, during this intense period of awareness-raising, it is essential to recognise and emphasise the importance of moments of rest and wellbeing for those affected by this disease, whether directly or indirectly.

This year, Gîtes de France Vendée is taking action!

We want to turn every booking into a gesture of solidarity. For every booking made during October at one of our accommodation properties in the Vendée, €1 will be donated to the League Against Cancer.

The importance of raising awareness

Pink October’s mission is not only to raise awareness of a disease, but also to highlight the importance of community support. Every action, every personal account and every initiative strengthens the cause and reminds us just how crucial it is to stay informed and vigilant. Raising awareness is a powerful weapon against the disease, giving hope to many people.

Taking time for moments of tranquillity

At Gîtes de France Vendée, we believe it is essential to find time for yourself, whilst remembering the causes that matter. The mild autumn climate of the Vendée provides the ideal setting for this restorative break. For those who have faced hardship or are supporting a loved one, it is essential to find moments of rest and a chance to get away from it all. In a holiday cottage, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. 

Discover or rediscover the tranquil beaches of the Vendée, the autumnal landscapes of the marshes, or the forest trails adorned with the colours of the season. These moments of escape are essential. They allow you to recharge your batteries and spend time with your loved ones.

October is the ideal month to combine environmental awareness with wellbeing. With our accommodation nestled in the heart of the Vendée countryside, treat yourself to this well-deserved break. Because recharging your batteries also means finding the strength to carry on supporting, helping and fighting.
