La Tranchardière is ideally located to allow you to undertake a whole host of activities while immersing yourself in traditional French culture.

 

Anglers of all abilities will enjoy fishing on the river Sèvre Nantaise which flows through our land. For the more dedicated angler, Pescalis  is only a short drive away and there are a multitude of other large species lakes nearby.

Photographers and artists will find many subjects in the area, and for those who have an interest, there is plenty of wildlife including numerous species of birds, butterflies, moths and other insects, or you can even visit the local ostrich farm. We even have our own resident owls!

 

In this area there are many activities from walks and cycling in beautiful countryside, golfing, ice skating, horse riding, canoeing and other watersports, go-karting, quad-biking, adventure parks, rock-climbing and also hot air ballooning.

There are a variety of places to visit from Medieval Castles, Chateaux and historic towns. Only slightly further afield there is Futuroscope  and the absolutely unique Puy du Fou.


 

For those who love to shop, Nantes, Poitiers and La Rochelle are only a 90 minute drive away and, for those who wish to spend a long day on a clean sandy beach; the Vendee coast is an easy drive.

Locally, there are many excellent restaurants, specialising in regional dishes made from local produce, much of which can be purchased at the traditional markets and gastronomic fairs.
