About the area

The situation of the house is in the heart of the ' Marais Poitevin 'in the Vendee region which is an attractive tourist area. it is 40mn from La Rochelle, 1 hour and 30mn from Nantes, 10mn from Fontenay-le-Comte, and 15mn from Niort, and 7mn from the supermarket, shops, pharmacie and school. The house is also located 15 miles from the Bluegreen Niort Golf Course.

The Vendee is a department in the Pays de la Loire region in west-central France, on the Atlantic Ocean

The coast of the Vendee extends over 200 kilometres of mostly sandy beaches and is frequented by tourists from all over the world and is also within close range of the world famous Marais Poitevin, which is known for its picturesque canals, natural beauty and wildlife, giving it the nickname 'The Green Venice'.

The area today called the Vendee was originally known as the Bas-Poitou and is part of the former province of Poitou. in the southeast corner, the village of Nieul-sur-l'Autise is believed to be the birthplace of Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204). Eleanor's son, Richard the Lionheart often had his base in Talmont. The Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) turned much of the Vendee into a battleground.

The main University of this department is the Catholic institute of Higher Studies - iCES[6] in La Roche-sur-Yon. The main goal of this institute is to achieve academic excellence through an enhancement of the Christian and human dimension in seven areas of study. Founded in 1989, Catholic institute of Higher Studies - iCES has pioneered a new concept in higher education, that of the 'University School': halfway between the French Grande École and the traditional state university.

The primary factors of the Vendeen economy are:
* Tourism
* Agriculture
* Food Processing
* Light/Medium industry

The Vendee has been cited as the most economically dynamic department in France by L'Express magazine in a 2006 survey. its economy is characterised by a low rate of unemployment (around 7% in late 2006 compared to more than 9% nationally) and a very high proportion of small and medium-sized businesses (one business for every 14 inhabitants).
The coast of the Vendee extends over 200 kilometres (120 mi) of mostly sandy beaches. Tourists from overseas and locally frequent them. Some resorts include Les Sables-d'Olonne, La Tranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-de-Monts. Some beaches are certified for the FEE Blue Flag for cleanliness.
With more than 160 kilometres (100 mi) of sandy beaches edged with dunes and pine woods. The department also has churches and abbeys, museums, and—for nature lovers—thousands of marked footpaths, a signposted bicycle route running along the coastal mudflats, and marshes that attract unusual birds. There is fishing in the Vendee's rivers and lakes.
inland, the chief attractions include the Marais Poitevin (an area of marshlands famed for wildlife), the forested area around the village of Mervent and the rolling countryside of the Bocage. in the north of the department, the historical theme park Puy du Fou attracts more than 1.45 million of visitors per year.
