La Garangeoire - St Julien-des-Landes, Vendée

Parc Description

Famously beautiful, La Garangeoire is a feast for the eyes. Yet beyond the parc itself, the surrounding area is just as pretty and authentically French as it could be. The parc is set in a breathtakingly beautiful area of woods, meadows and lakes, yet is just a 15 minute drive from the superb Vendéen beaches. The estate contains generous, mainly unshaded pitches and you are welcome to explore a number of delightful well-marked walks. There’s just so much to do here, from tennis, which is free in early and late summer, to fishing and boating on the lake. Why not enjoy an evening in the modern restaurant and bar overlooking the superb pool or alternatively how about a quiet drink in the cosy pub style bar which is located in the tastefully converted outbuildings of the château. Our 34th year at this parc.
