Lovely Villa, Sleeps 6, Private HEATED Pool, Wifi, 20 mins to Atlantic Beaches

Built in a traditional Vendeene style, Les Peupliers is our much-loved holiday home situated in the unspoilt hamlet of La Baffardiere which forms part of a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, within the River Yon Nature Reserve.

The property sits in a quiet lane with no through traffic, from where there are many walks and cycle rides through wooded lanes and paths down to the River Yon. The pretty village of Le Champs St Pere is only a short drive or bike ride away, where you will find a supermarket with petrol station, pharmacy, bakery, bar and a market in the village square in Thursday mornings. 20 minutes to the North of Le Champs St Pere is the thriving university town of La Roche Sur Yon, and equidistant to the South is the historic, cathedral town of Lucon.

The villa itself is decorated and furnished to a very high standard and is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. There is a large, bright, open plan living space with comfortable seating, a dining table and chairs for 6 guests and 3 sets of french doors leading to the pool and terrace areas. The 3 good-sized, double bedrooms comprise of 1 king and 2 twins (1 of the twin rooms can be arranged as a superking) and all have comfortable beds with quality mattresses, lots of storage space and dressing tables with mirrors and lights over. There are 2 full bathrooms (1 is en-suite) and all bed linen and bathroom towels are provided. All rooms have fans and there are also hairdryers and complimentary toiletries. On arrival you will find your beds made ready, along with a welcome hamper to get your holiday off to the best start!

The wonderful outside space is fully enclosed and totally private. There are 2 outdoor dining areas, one by the pool and the other under the pergola overlooking the garden. The walled pool terrace is furnished with sun beds, cushions and parasols and the heated pool is fully maintained and equipped with an electric safety pool cover. To the rear of the house there is a full-size table tennis table.

In terms of things to do and see in the area, the list is endless and there's lots of information at the villa along with maps and directions. There are wine tasting tours, horse riding, canoeing, go-karting, sailing, the O'Fun Adventure Park, and the O'Gliss Water Park all available locally.

Slightly further a field are the historic cities of La Rochelle and Nantes, both very cosmopolitan and well worth a visit.

The nearest beach is at Longeville (approximately 20 minutes away), and there are also lots of surfing beaches offering a variety of watersports too. La Tranche (30 mins) , Les Sables d'Olonne and St Gilles de Croix are all lovely seaside resorts, with trendy shops, bars and restaurants as well as fantastic beaches. The coast is straightforward to get to, with very little traffic even in high season.

PLEASE NOTE: Our rental prices are structured according to the number of guests, which helps to make it attractive to couples and small families as well as larger groups. The number of beds prepared and towels provided equate to the number of guests as this also helps to cut down on unnecessary laundry.

Lovely to be back again
This was our 4th stay and it didn't disappoint. We last stayed here 10 years ago, can't believe its been that long but it was so nice to be back. The addition of the electric pool cover was a bonus. The villa is equipped with everything you could want and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the Vendee area.

Fabulous!!!
We are regular visitors to France every summer for the last 30 years and this property is one of the best we have ever stayed in. Clean, well equipped ( especially the kitchen!) and loads to do around the area. Super comfy beds coupled with being very quiet resulted in excellent rest after fun days out exploring an amazing area. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Les Peupliers is perfect. After 25 years of staying in excellent places all over France, this is the best. The pool is amazing, everything in Les Peupliers is well maintained and excellent quality. As well as relaxing by the pool we enjoyed days out in nearby costal resorts and inland towns. We had a fantastic 4 weeks. Thank you Natalie for looking after the place so well & to Julie for the ease of booking, great communication & a fantastic welcome pack.

Lovely stay in a quiet rural location
Really enjoyed our stay at this immaculately clean property with great facilities and in an ideal location. Communication in advance our our stay was perfect with some good local recommendations as well as the usual complexities of the French recycling rules. The pool was lovely and being heated was a real bonus on a couple of days where the weather was less than perfect. In terms of the accommodations it was spacious with a good sized kitchen that was well equipped for English tastes (proper sized mugs for a morning cup of tea) and plenty of glasses and cups to avoid constant washing up. Washing machine and a washing line was also helpful to avoid taking too many clothes. The location is good being less than half an hour from the closest beach, close to roads that are quiet enough to cycle with the kids but not too far from the massive hypermarkets at La Roche sur Yon. Easy to find on Waze too when we first arrived. We would happily stay here again! (And sorry we didn’t get time to write in the guest book but we had the stress of a car breakdown on our last day!)

Une semaine de rêve aux Peupliers - A perfect week in Les Peupliers
Julia and Simon's perfect property is located in the lovely green Vendée countryside. Get in the car and in less than 5 minutes you will be in Le Champ St Père, a little village with a chemist, baker, hairdresser and a Carrefour Contact supermarket (a bit like a Tesco express). Drive about 10 minutes either east or west and you will find two little towns with more shops and people to talk to! Mareuil-sur-Lay has a great Intermarché supermarket, with a great Butcher section. We do recommand the Boulangerie in Mareuil too: easily the best croissants in the area (and that's a Frenchman telling you!). Les Peupliers is as described in the advert, if not better! Nothing is missing, and it is so nice to have everything you may need. I love to cook and all was there. The cooking hob is easy to use - so is the charcoal barbecue. All appliances are in perfect working condition. The swimming pool is clean and always at the right temperature. The property is completely secure, which was a massive plus for us as our son is autistic and we didn't have to worry about him wandering around. Beds are comfy, great bathrooms and both internal and external common areas are perfect for chilling. Communication with the owners, and their local representative Natalie, was incredibly easy before, during and after. On arrival day, we could not help but notice how clean and welcoming the house was. The "treat tray" waiting for us in the kitchen was the icing on the cake. Merci pour tout Les Peupliers!

Great Villa = wonderful holiday
Wonderful house with everything you need for what ever type of holiday you want - relaxing or fun filled. As soon as you walk in it feels like a home not just a house. We all loved the pool - in it every day :-) We've stayed in 6 or 7 properties in the Vendee over the years and can honestly say this was the best. Thank you Julie for sharing your home from home with us.

Wonderful, relaxing and thoroughly recommend
We arrived without any problem and found the key, unpacked and were straight into the pool after a long drive. The house is very well equipped, very clean and nice comfy beds. I’m unfortunately not able to walk very far but my husband loves walking and assured me there were some lovely walks especially by the river. We stayed for three weeks and did experience a lot of rain and cloud. While this is by no means a criticism of the owners as they may not be aware but a lot of attractions were closed or only open on certain days. High season seems to be July and august. The bar/restaurant in the village was permanently closed and the bakery wasn’t open at any time we visited (mid morning or late afternoon). We found it quite difficult to find a good restaurant which was open but Natalie, the property manager advised us that she had found restaurants had closed down which she had not been aware of and said it’s quite common due to the economic climate. Don’t rely on “booking online” as we did this on three occasions and each time the restaurants were closed. A nice little eatery called L’Amarilis in Nesmy. Simple food but lovely staff and very reasonably priced. Another restaurant which was excellent was Le Fief des Saisons in Lucon. Looks nothing from the outside but superb food however you need to book in advance. There’s a business card by the phone in the house. The Monkey Space in La Roche sur yon.We had an amazing three weeks and would highly recommend this home.

Quiet relaxation in a perfect environment
We arrived at Les Peupliers after a very hot night in a hotel nearby at La Roche Sur Yon, and immediately on entering the property it was evident that the property was perfectly prepared and clean. The gîte has all of the facilities that you need to make your stay a home from home, and the welcome hamper and attention to detail throughout the property make it perfect. We spent the first few days enjoying the quiet relaxation of the area with a walk in the woods and plenty of pool time, but on a slightly cloudier day we ventured out to the coast and had a day out in Les Sables-d'Olonne. The rest of the week was split between pool time and the odd walk in the woods. The week was extremely relaxing with very little noise apart from the birds in the trees and the splash of water when someone was in the pool. A tranquil and lazy week to recharge the batteries in a beautiful and well equipped setting. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us, and hopefully we will be back to visit again soon!

Great pool and well appointed Gite
The Gite was perfect for our family- everything you could need, very clean and comfortable and the pool was fantastic. We happened to go during a heat wave so it was very hot all week 38 degrees for the last 3 days! The Gite is ideally situated to visit the many beautiful beaches about 20-30 minutes away. There is a supermarket about 5 mins away in the car. Whilst we visited the beaches for lunch, it was too hot for us to sit on the beach but we did make great use of the pool and the 3 children swam all afternoon. The furnishings were all modern, comfortable and everything very clean on arrival. We had a very relaxing first week of our holiday and would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Les Peupliers. From the beginning, the owners communicated well and we were given the number of a local lady who managed the property who kept in touch as and when required. Everything was clean and tidy and the house was brilliantly equipped to cater for all of our needs. We enjoyed our time by the pool, relaxing on the sun loungers, swimming and playing. We also enjoyed the table tennis and used the BBQ most evenings. The local supermarket was well stocked and only a five minute drive away. We explored the local area and walks and also travelled further afield to the lovely beaches. We would highly recommend this property for a relaxing holiday.

Everything was kept nicely, we had everything we needed for our stay. The first night we stayed in a double bed in the master bedroom but it was too small. We asked to use the twin beds together as a king bed and it was arranged. We had a very nice time and the house is kept in good condition, all the linen, towels and kitchen appliances were available. There were also some nice welcome presents like wine, bread, butter, all very useful.

Gorgeous house which was spotlessly clean. We arrived to find a very generous welcome pack and useful items in the fridge, a really nice touch. The house is very well equipped and the pool area is beautiful. The property is set behind gates making it very safe for children and also extremely private. Lots to explore in the area and we enjoyed our visit to various beaches. A wonderful stay and communication from Julie was excellent.

Perfect getaway
I stayed here with my siblings and partners (late twenties / early thirties). We had a fantastic time at the property and would spend most mornings relaxing by the pool and had a barbecue most nights. We also enjoyed using the ping pong table. The property was very clean and had all the essentials we needed. Only comment I would have is that the gate was difficult to open as it would close automatically. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for privacy and who is looking to spend a lot of time in the property itself. Thank you Julie!

We had a wonderful relaxing week at Les Peupliers. The villa had everything for all ages. It is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The pool was lovely, very clean and the pool area had sunshine all day long but shady areas if you needed it. Also there are comfortable sun loungers with table and chairs to enjoy a poolside lunch. Lovely setting at the front of the villa too. There’s lots of lovely beaches and harbours/towns nearby. English TV is great for chilling and a good selection of games.

A true French experience
This was our first holiday abroad with our three children and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The villa is exactly as advertised, it is exceptionally clean and has everything you need! Julie the property manager was incredibly helpful from the moment we enquired to the minute we came home. Her recommendations for beaches and restaurants in the area were spot on for our family and that made for a real French experience. We particularly enjoyed Auberge de la Court d'Aron just wow! And Le Clem was a further restaurant recommendation that we tried and loved! We will definitely be returning in the near future and would recommend this villa and area of France without hesitation.
