Options & pricesLa Flocellière en Vendée
Escape to a simpler life with Adeline & Fabien
Discover La Flocellière in the Vendée, about one hour drive away from Nantes. Adeline will be happy to welcome and advise you on the activities to do in the area. La Flocellière in Vendée is not a farm, however, there are some animals on site such as hens, sheep, a pony, ducks, geese, quails, partridges, a dog, a rabbit and occasionally two goats. At La Flocellière, the lodges are placed around the pond where you can fish and swim!
Would you prefer to come by train? No problem! La Flocellière offers you a chauffeur service 7 days a week if you come by train to Cholet, Angers or Nantes. This option is particularly interesting if you do not have a driving license, or if you simply do not want to drive during your vacation.
Explore the countryside of Vendée
Discover the countryside of Haut-Bocage at Saint-Michel-Mont-Mercure by taking one of the 25 kilometres of signed footpaths. Visit the châteaux of Pouzauges, La Flocellière and Les Châtelliers-Châteaumur. In addition, during the summer period many activities like walks and seasonal markets are organized in these towns. The famous theme park Le Puy du Fou is only ten minutes away by car and an adventure not to be missed!
What to do at La Flocellière in the Vendée
Relax in the lodge with its own ensuite bathroom, take the time to get together as a family cooking together on the wood stove or barbecue on your private terrace. Stroll along the pond or in the meadows and feed the animals. In spring and summer, you can watch the birth of chicks, ducklings, goslings or partridges! There are games for children in the barn. Outside there is a trampoline and a swing. At La Flocellière in the Vendée, you can also book a hot tub!
