Peaceful farm site in the Vendée: meet the animals on site
15 minutes' drive from the beach at Saint-Jean-de-Monts
Mini farm, miniature golf, pétanque and play area on site

A little piece of prairie… right in the Vendée in France, five minutes' drive from Sallertaine and 10 minutes from Challans. Come and meet the menagerie at peaceful and friendly farm and nature park Les Petites Maisons dans la Prairie, home to the likes of llamas and miniature ponies among an American Western theme. And as it's near the west coast of France rather than the west coast of the USA, prairie rangers staying here will be 20 to 30 minutes' drive from the beaches of Saint-Jean-de-Monts and Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, 45 minutes from the isle of Noirmoutier and 25 minutes from boats to the Île d'Yeu – and about an hour and a quarter from the historical theme park of Puy du Fou. High season entertainment is highly prized around here, with a wide range including theme nights, pony and carriage rides, pétanque tournaments, table football, ping pong and frisbee: check the entertainment poster when you arrive to see what's on. All guests have free access to the farm park during July and August, and to the pond for fishing. Miniature golf is around too for prairie-based teeing off, and a covered and heated pool is open from April to mid-November. For wild West fuelling up, shoot along to the Western-themed wooden bar-restaurant.

Local attractions

This peaceful part of France is within easy day trip distance of the Vendée coast, its beaches and its watersports, as well as island options like Noirmoutier and the Île d'Yeu. It's excellent biking land too, as the Vendée's 1,100+ kilometres of biking trails over 66 routes is the most extensive in France. Track down a copy of the Sentiers Cyclables de la Vendée cycle paths leaflet and maps to find where best to pedal nearby, such as the scenic local option between the ports of Saint-Jean-de-Monts and Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. Both towns deserve some leisurely hours at them after the cycling: Saint-Jean-de-Monts for its eight-kilometre beach, boat trips, fishing and the freshest of local produce at its Saturday market, and Saint Gilles Croix de Vie for its fresh sardines (thoroughly famed in these parts), the Maison du Pêcheur museum, and vintage tinned sardines millésimées to bring home as handsome souvenirs. From Saint-Jean-de-Monts, sail out to the Île d'Yeu for more peaceful and beaut bike paths; from Beauvoir-sur-Mer, it's a four and a half kilometre walk along the paved sandbank of the Passage du Gois to reach Noirmoutier, to see its 12th-century castle and ninth-century Château de Noirmoutier. (And did you know that Noirmoutier has the most expensive spuds in all the world? Tis true: La Bonnotte potatoes are harvested on the island by hand, yield only about 100 tons per year, and can cost up to 400 or so British quid for one teeny kilo.)
