Discover the historic towns, lakes, forests and beaches of French Vendée
Chez Chartres ('La Résidence au Verger') is a bright spacious pet-friendly holiday home for up to 10 people (plus a cot) situated in the village of L'Orbrie on the edge of the Mervent Forest, near the medieval town of Fontenay le Comte.
With its proximity to the sea (35km as the crow flies), sunny microclimate and the extraordinary reserve of oxygen from the vast forest, L'Orbrie village enjoys mild seasons, fertile vineyards and tranquil surroundings.
The forest has hundreds of miles of hiking and cycle paths, lake swimming, fishing and watersports. The house is 3km from historic Fontenay le Comte, only 45 minutes to the La Rochelle quayside, shops and aquarium and the glorious Vendée beaches, and only an hour to one of the world's greatest theme parks, the award winning 'Game of Thrones' style Puy du Fou.
The spacious home is perfect for a large extended family, or for two families sharing. Prices start at only £950 per week for the property and up to 10 people, including all bills.
