about us
Le Jardin des Bosquets is a welcoming, family-run retreat offering two beautifully appointed properties: a deluxe one-bedroom Chambre d’Hôte with its own independent entrance and private terrace, and a spacious three-bedroom gîte created from a characterful stone barn dating back to the 1700s. The two can be booked together, subject to availability, to accommodate ten + guests.

year round accommodation
Set within a peaceful village in the southern Vendée, we enjoy a delightful microclimate with nearly 300 days of sunshine each year.
Perched at the top of a valley, the property offers sweeping countryside views and immediate access to a scenic greenway running for miles along the River Vendée. Behind our walled entrance you’ll discover ample parking, beautifully landscaped gardens, a heated swimming pool and nearly two hectares of paddocks where our horses wander freely.
We welcome guests throughout the year, with heating provided in both the gîte and Chambre d’Hôte.

ideal location
Our location is perfectly placed for exploring an exceptional variety of attractions — from beaches, forests and lakes to châteaux, canals and historic abbeys. Favourites such as La Rochelle, Nantes, the Puy du Fou and Futuroscope are all within an hour’s reach. The Marais Poitevin and the Mervent Forest can be reached in just fifteen minutes, while the Renaissance town of Fontenay-le-Comte, once the regional capital, is a short seven-minute drive.
The Vendée is a region rich in history, culture and natural beauty. It is a paradise for cyclists, walkers and lovers of the outdoors, and it has long been a favourite destination for classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts. With the Vendée Circuit close by in Fontenay-le-Comte, our gîte is perfectly placed for guests wishing to spend a day at the racetrack.
What Guests Say
Perfect stay!
We rented the cottage for 6 people (2 adults/4 children), we were warmly welcomed by Stephen and Emma and our stay was very pleasant. The accommodation is beautifully renovated, clean, the environment relaxing, the heated pool very pleasant... The hosts are distinguished by their kindness. Everything is planned so that you lack nothing. I highly recommend!

Great and characterful place, beautiful room, big garden with horses and a cat and very helpful and welcoming hosts. Great we could dive into the pool too! Breakfast was delicious as well. All in all a recommendation for sure.
