Lodges

  • Well-appointed lodges 20 minutes’ drive from Les Sables d’Olonne
  • Bay of Biscay beaches 15 minutes’ drive; Puy du Fou an hour
  • On-site shop; picnic baskets with local products; fishing ponds
A 10-minute drive from the salt marshes of the Île d’Olonne and only a little farther (15 minutes) from the beaches of the Bay of Biscay, Damona Lodges sits on the 50-hectare Chausserie estate, a lushly verdant corner of the Vendée countryside, in western France. The lodges in question are excellently appointed, each with its own vibe (guests choose from rustic, bohemian or ethnic decor) and each with a decked outside area for alfresco family meals, which you can prepare from scratch with the products available at the on-site shop. Better yet, you might want to order a picnic basket, which features local delicacies served in sealed jars. Breakfast (including buttery viennoiserie, freshly baked bread, jams, yogurt and juices) can also be arranged. There are more luxury touches in the bathrooms, with a welcome kit (soap, shampoo, shower gel and body cream) and fluffy towels; bed linen is also provided (indeed, your bed is already made on your arrival). As befits a place named after the Celtic goddess of waterways, there are a couple of nearby streams, including the river Auzance, plus ponds where guests can fish for bass and carp. Other activities in the local area include horse-back riding (with two stables within a 10-minute drive), golfing (15 minutes) and all sorts of watersports along the coast.
