The house
Happy Holidays Happen Here in our spacious barn conversion. It has a large living area, a kitchen equipped with everything you would need for a holiday home from home, two bedrooms (1 King size bed 200cm by 150cm, 2 single beds 190cm by 90cm) and a shower-room with toilet and basin. The high vaulted ceiling in the main living area ensures that the Gite is cool and comfortable even in the height of summer. Outside there is an elevated deck with space for al fresco dining and a seating area as well. There is also a secure gangway leading to the above ground pool. The deck and pool enjoy fantastic views towards the south-west overlooking the tranquil countryside of the Vendee. Our guests are always amazed at the quality and spaciousness of our Gite and the views across the surrounding countryside which no photo can truly capture. A common observation from our very satisfied guests is that the photo's of the Gite do not do it justice. Why not find out for yourself?

Reviews
Henk Springer from Eelde,
Een weldadige plek en een fantastische gastvrouw: Josie. Vanuit “Mon Petit Coeur” hebben we La Rochelle, Niort, Portenay en Poitiers bezocht: allemaal prachtige steden die vanuit de Gite te bereizen zijn. En telkens kom je terug in de weldadige rust en heerlijke tuin van dit prachtige huis. Een echte aanrader voor mensen die de Vendee willen verkennen en ook tot rust willen komen in een landelijke omgeving.
Arjan from Rotterdam,
Het is werkelijk een klein paradijs. Josie is een enthousiaste en vriendelijke gastvrouw, die heel goed de balans weet te vinden tussen contact leggen en privacy en rust voor de gasten. De tuin is fantastisch met groenten, kruiden, bloemen en fruitbomen. Josie nodigde ons uit te plukken wat we nodig hadden en dat deden we dan ook. Onze dochter vond het fantastisch om in de tuin te zijn. Het huisje is comfortabel, de ruimte achter het huis (houten dek + zwembad) is een fijne plek in de zon. We komen er graag nog eens terug.
Udo from Augsburg,
We had a wonderful time at La Menantelierre. The gite is spacious and has a lovely atmosphere, so you can also feel very cozy indoors. The spacious terrace with a wide view and its own small pool is absolutely marvellous. The gite is very suitable for a family of 4 and we would have liked to stay longer than 2 weeks.
Josie is a very warm hostess who finds a great balance between respecting the privacy of her guests and looking after them. She even baked extra gluten-free bread for our daughter, who has coeliac disease!
In short, we felt very comfortable and can highly recommend Mon Petit Coeur!
Restaurants, food & wine
We can suggest a variety of local restaurants within a 10 minute drive of our property, from basic up to Gourmet quality.
Activities
There are a variety of tracks and bridleways in the area that can be explored in safety, either on foot or by Bicycle if you bring one with you. We are within 90 mimutes drive of Puy du Fou, Europes premier theme park. Futuroscope at Poitiers is just over an hours drive away. Closer to home the delightful Parc de Pierre Brune is a small family theme park that is perfect for a day out with children and less than 25 minutes drive from our Gite. There are also numerous other attractions and activities within easy reach of our Gite, it really does make the perfect base for exploring the region.
Josie is a qualified Yoga instructor and has run yoga retreats at la Menantelierre and in Goa, India. Josie also has a masters degree in fine art and has lectured in fine art at establishments in the United Kingdom. The art studio provides space and facilities for those wishing to extend their practise in art.
