What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
'Le Grand Parc de Puy du Fou'
"Arguably the best family day out in France! This extraordinary theme park displays the history of France from the standpoint of events in the Vendée via the medium of spectacular re-enactment. Set in a huge landscaped park, the shows of the Puy du Fou combine the skills of actors, horsemen, falconers and stuntmen combine with stunning sets to portray history in a way that could not be less stuffy.
The Puy du Fou also stages evening shows (the "Cinescene") on some dates during the summer. This outside spectacular is performed on a "stage" of several acres (the largest in the World), features over a thousand actors and some of the most ingenious special effects seen anywhere on Earth.
"
'Mervent Forest'
"One of a series of forested granite hills (or massif forestiers) that border the marais. Only 20 minutes drive away from your holiday gite, the forest of Mervent provides over 12,000 acres of mixed woodland, with over 30 varieties of tree, including holm oaks (a Mediterranean species that does very well in the warm climate of the Vendée), penduculate oaks, ash, hornbeam, beech and chestnut. Ideal for walking, riding, cycling and picnics, the forest is also home to a watersports complex (canoes, sailing, etc), a small zoo and an amusement park (Parc de Pierre Brune. On a hot day a picnic in the cool of the woods followed by a gentle stroll is a delight. The forest is home to a wide variety of mammals and birds, including roe deer, badger, pine marten and wild boar. Rare short-toed eagles are often to be seen. In Autumn, the forest floor provides a bounty in the form of edible mushrooms to anyone wishing to collect them: local pharmacists will be happy to sort through and remove anything dangerous or unpalatable, a service they provide free of charge.
