- Playground, heated outdoor pool, and goats, ponies and chickens
Pull on your walking boots, pick up your helmet and limber up for the saddle – you’re going exploring.
If you quite fancy a getaway full of rambling excursions and zipping along country roads, make tracks for Aux Yourtes de la Fabrique, a family-friendly site five minutes’ drive from the village of Thorigny (and less than 10 minutes’ walk from the Marillet river), in the Vendée department of the Pays de la Loire region.
La Fabrique is around half an hour’s drive from the edge of Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, and there are loads of hiking, horse riding and cycling trails that run to it (and through it) starting from the site. There’s plenty more to do in Marais Poitevin if you’re not the active type, including boat trips along the Venise Verte/Green Venice 50 minutes away.
Back on site, you can take a dip in the heated outdoor pool, or challenge your friends and family to a few games of table football. For a more relaxed approach, go and meet the site’s residents – a goat, ponies and chickens that you’re more than welcome to feed.
Feeling peckish? Nip in to Mareuil-sur-Lay-Dissais (15 minutes' drive) for barbecue essentials, or stay out and about and treat yourself at one of the restaurants within 15 minutes' drive.

Local attractions
There’s plenty around Aux Yourtes de la Fabrique to keep history buffs entertained for their hols: the historic city of Luçon, with its 12th-century cathedral and seventh-century Benedictine convent, is less than half an hour away. Castles, monuments and museums can be found further afield in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne and Olonne-sur-Mer, all within 40 minutes' drive.
Olonne-sur-Mer should be high on your to-do list if you’re after a seaside getaway: the town has two natural beaches where you can splash around, build castles of your own or simply stroll along the sand. If getting out on the water is more your thing, set your sights on Talmont-Saint-Hilaire instead, as it’s a top spot for watersports and boat trips.
Kids lagging along behind? Put a spring back in their step with a visit to the aquarium at Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, the wildlife parks and zoos in Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne, treetop adventure at Indian Forest or the treasure hunts and investigation at Le Château des Aventuriers.
If they’re still chomping at the bit, pile them into the car and bring them to the immensely popular Puy de Fou amusement park, about 50 minutes away. This is the second most-visited theme park in France – pipped to the post only by Disneyland – so there’s certain to be plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
