The nearest big town is La Roche sur Yon, with restaurants, supermarkets, shops, bars and banks. Maison Blanc is just a 20 minute drive to the Atlantic coast, and close to the seaside towns of Saint-Jean-de-Monts, St Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and Les Sable de L’Onnes. St Gilles is alive with restaurants overlooking the marina, while Les Sable has long sandy beaches, a harbour and wonderful shops and restaurants. The more sophisticated resort of La Rochelle, with its large harbour, beautiful boats, wonderful restaurants and superb shopping is just over an hour’s drive away.
The Vendee Region
Spend a day discovering the natural history of the Vendee Marshes with its traditionally constructed buildings, salt marshes and conservation site which is working to protect breeds of animals and varieties of plants from the past. Or visit the museum dedicated to painter Charles Milcendeau in Le Bois Durand – his former home, which he decorated with unusual and colourful Mozarabic frescos.
