We have a two/three bedroom house capable of sleeping 6 to 7 people in the town of Bretignolles-sur-Mer in the heart of the sunny Vendee region on France's Western coast. The property is ideally situated for French seaside holidays. Five minutes walk from the nearest beach and bars and 10 minutes walk from the shops and regular market, this 1930's property offers a large kitchen diner, a living room and/or additional bedroom with sofa's which convert into 2 single beds, two double bedrooms (one with en-suite sink and bidet) and a separate bathroom with toilet and bath/shower. Outside a good sized garden offers plenty of space for sunbathing and relaxation.

Boasting a choice of excellent beaches and plenty of good places to eat, Bretignolles-sur-Mer is ideally located between the northern Vendee's two main tourist resorts of St.Gilles Croix de Vie and Les Sable D'Olonne.

It offers the option of peace and quiet out of season and a lively bustling atmosphere during the summer months.

There are a number of good and reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance of the house and a very friendly bar (The PMU) 5 minutes walk away.

The nearest beach Paree Plage has plenty of fine sand and also has rock pools.

There is an extensive network of cycle trails including one that runs along the coastline. There is a sailing centre, and cafe on La Normandalière beach and large open air salt water swimming pool.

The Dunes beach is good for body boarding and also has some interesting rocks and pools at the northern end.

Lots of beach based activities of all kinds including swimming, surf/body boarding, sailing, rock pooling, fishing and kite flying. St. Gilles Croix de Vie offers a very attractive harbor and plenty of good shops and restaurants and a cinema.

The nearby Parc d'Attractions des Dunes at Brem-sur-Mer is a must for anyone with children, who will adore the ball ponds, bouncy surfaces, slides, toboggans and pedal go-karts (open Easter to mid Sept).

There are plenty of golf course to try
