The top attraction in the Poitou-Charentes and the second in France – a holiday in the Poitou-Charentes isn’t complete without a day out at Futuroscope. A 60-hectare park, with landscaped gardens and fountains and futuristic-looking pavilions which house thrilling rides and jaw-dropping 3D films.
With its four ports, La Rochelle is one of the most important French harbour towns, particularly for tourism. It has a unique atmosphere, with its historic port (Le Vieux Port), a quayside bustling with boats of all sizes, and a seafront packed with cafes, bars and restaurants. Pedestrianised streets are surrounded with 17th and 18th century buildings housing boutique shops selling everything from fashion to food. The town has a daily market which takes over the streets around Place du Marché and a stunning seafood market at Rue Marche. You can cycle around La Rochelle, using the yellow bikes that are free. You can collect your bike at Place Verdun between 9am-6pm. You will need to take identification. The first two hours are free, then it’s 1 Euro per hour. La Rochelle also has one of Europe’s best aquariums with more than 10,000 sea creatures on display – an evening visit in July and August is a great end to a full day in La Rochelle, as the aquarium remains open until 11pm. And there are Museum’s galore…. covering maritime, national history, perfume bottles, antique moving figurines, model transport vehicles and porcelain and paintings – you’re bound to find something of interest to you.
A marsh area, made up of natural water channels and man-made canals, which stretches for miles. The area is often referred to as the ‘Venise Verte’ (Green Venice). The largest area of marshland on France’s Atlantic coastline and the second largest anywhere in the Country is full of wildlife. You can explore the canals and waterways by traditional flat-bottomed boats which can be hired from various areas in the Marais Potevin. Head to any of the ‘embarcaderes’ (piers/wharfs) to hire a boat for an hour or two, or half or whole day and with or without a guide. Or you can explore on foot or by bike (plenty of bike hire places). Some of France’s most beautiful villages are in the Marais Poitevin area – head to Coulon or Arçais to see the traditional architecture of the area, along the edge of the waterways.
A famous historical theme park, the Puy du Fou Park is a whirlwind of extraordinary shows and a great experience for ages 8 to 80! Visitors embark on journeys through time to enjoy lavish historical enactements in this 50 acre park with 25 restaurants ! One day just may not be enough.
As usual it was absolutely brilliant, the gite was spotless,nice welcome pack,Simon & Julie always make us so welcome,lovely place,lovely couple &super fishing
Thanks so much for your extremely positive review. You taking the time to do a review is very much appreciated, as are your comments. Until the next time........ (and maybe we'll meet Bertie x)
This is the best holiday fishing in France we have ever had (and we have had a lot over the years !) the gite was perfect , spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped , our hosts Julie and Simon couldn't have been more helpful friendly and accommodating . The fishing was excellent with carp up to 30lbs, in a delightful setting, there were two well stocked lakes to choose from , deep in the heart of the French countryside , yet only a 5minute ride to local shops and amenities.
We would recommend La Germondiiere to everyone
Norman and Janet Cook Devon
Thank you so much for the review.
So glad that we ticked all the boxes for you both. It's our pleasure to have you here, and we really really really look forward to seeing you again next year.
We have to say that Simon&Julie were incredibly helpful to us.They gave us the best route to travel on the best place to stop overnight.On arrival they had put a welcome pack together for us that we had asked for which meant we could relax and not worry about going for provisions straight away.The facilities are clean and comfortable and they make you feel very welcome.Should you be going there to fish,I urge you to get some advise from simon on which baits to use or even take for that matter.Tight lines like we had and enjoy.
If you like a bit of fishing in a quite rural location this is fantastic. It has re-ignited my love for the sport. Simon and Julie are great hosts and in Simon its like having a personal fishing coach with you all the time. He taught me loads. Its just a 1 minute stroll to the lake form the Gite so easy fishing as you can leave your kit set up all week.
The town is quiet but if you have the car then there are lots of day excursions you can do
All round fantastic value.
