We believe this to be the ideal location to improve your French in quiet and comfortable surroundings.

There are many things to see and do in the surrounding area, many great restaurants in which to sample French cuisine and wine - a great place in which to study, or visit!

There are attractions such as the coastline and sandy beaches at Les Sables d’Olonne, towns like La Rochelle with excellent dining (especially if you like seafood), and the fascinating waterways of the Marais Poitevin all within easy reach.

The Vendee weather is wonderful, and photographers and artists can enjoy the countryside with its varied and stunning scenery. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, golf, fishing or horse riding. The picturesque sea shore of the French Atlantic coastline, with its excellent beaches, is within easy reach by car and there is boating on the inland waterways of the Marais Poitevin.
