Here's part of a letter we received from Mr T who came for ten days last winter:

"We very much liked having a 'town' gîte. The gîte was warm and comfortable. We have spent many holidays in gîtes all over France but we have always been in the country before. Having restaurants and lots of shops, encluding two supermarkets within easy walking distance was a new experience - as was the lit-up cathedral and the Jardin Dumain".

 

We are Val Holmes and Claude Vallin with two children, Lucy (15) and Joanne (11). Claude has lived in the area all his life. Val has lived in France for the last 18 years. We have 17 years of experience in providing holidays -  our home now  is a small town setting -  a change from our countryside gites and your holidays spent in cars. Here you can walk to the shops, supermarkets, park or restaurants and bars. Stay in our beautiful maison bourgeoise situated in the heart of Luçon, a small friendly town in the South Vendee, or in our very comfortable gîte in a barn conversion in the garden.

Val Holmes is a well known Textile artist and author on the subject, Claude is an artist and draughtsman, concentrating mainly in etchings. La Villa des Roses has a gallery  where their work is on permanent exhibition, and each artist has a studio space which can be visited . Val gives courses in her groundfloor studio.

For house hunters we may be able to offer helpful local advice. Claude is an expert on planning and planning applications and can do any plans you need for your new house too. We have succesfully designed and concluded many barn conversions, extensions and small house projects so could help with yours too.

 

How to get here:  

From the A83 motorway junction for Ste hermine/Luçon take Luçon. After two villages you meet the roundabout with the D949 Fontenay or Luçon. Turn right to Luçon and Sables d'Olonne. Continue through 3 roundabouts always taking centre ville or going straight on. Continue until you pass the Cathedral on your left as you take a single direction traffic section with the Tourist Information Office on your right. You rejoin two way trafic just after the post office heading towards Les Sables d'Olonne. You are now on the right road. After about 300m there is a butchers on your right (often with a sign outside) and our house (number 43 in pink granite - the only house of its kind in Luçon) opposite on the left.  Ring at the front door.
