  • Well-equipped family site just off the D748 in Secondigny
  • Futuroscope and Puy du Fou both an hour's drive away
  • Fishing, tennis, miniature golf and heated outdoor pool on site
There are days out galore in the area around Camping Le Moulin des Effres – from this Deux-Sèvres site on the edge of the town of Secondigny you’ll easily be able to get to Puy du Fou and Futuroscope, explore the Marais Poitevin, stroll around La Rochelle… All of this is thanks in part to the location just off the D748, which also makes this family-friendly site a great place for a stopover on longer journeys across the country. It’s really worth sticking around for a longer patch if you possibly can though – not just for day trips to all the aforementioned places but also to make use of all the excellent facilities on site. Around the five-acre site are a heated outdoor pool (with a paddling pool and waterslide), a playground, an outdoor fitness area, a pétanque court, a tennis court and a miniature golf course… safe to say no one’s likely to get bored. The location on the edge of a large lake also means that guests have access to watery activities such as fishing and pedal boats – or simply sitting and daydreaming while gazing over the water. In summer season, there’s yet more to fill your time with – as that’s when the kids’ club gets up and running, along with daytime activities for all ages and evening entertainment such as karaoke nights and live music evenings. For food, you can grab something from the site’s snack bar, or walk the 10 minutes into the centre of town to pick up eats from the supermarket and bakery.

Local attractions

You may well like to plan your holiday around a big day out or two – and the obvious contenders for such things are Puy du Fou, which takes you on a fabulous journey through time, and Futuroscope, packed with high-tech attractions and rides. Both are about an hour’s drive away. For other family-friendly days out you could head out to meet exotic animals at Zoodyssée (55 minutes) and La Vallée Des Singes (an hour and 15 minutes), or aim for La Rochelle (an hour and 20 minutes) to visit one of Europe’s biggest aquariums. If you’re here in summer it’s also worth checking out the events programme for the FLIP games festival in Parthenay (15 minutes). And of course this is a lovely area for all sorts of outdoor activities – perhaps climbing through the trees at Adventure Park 79 Chantemerle (20 minutes) or setting off for the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park (35 minutes) for walks, bike rides or boat trips in the watery landscapes.
