| Regional Information |
|
Located in the North of the Deux Sèvres with many tourist sites and activities within easy reach including the Puy du Fou (45mins) and Futuroscope (1hr). The coast is about 90 minutes away as are the Chateau of the Loire. The Anjou wine region is about 40 minutes drive. The region has a mild micro-climate and is deemed to be the second sunniest region in France benefiting from the warmth of the La Rochelle basin.
