While the layout of the lodges encourages independence for each family or group of friends, the estate is also a place for meeting and connection. Vacationers cross paths during their explorations and gather in the communal spaces (reception and outdoor areas).
Books and board games can be borrowed free of charge at reception. You’ll also find a grocery corner stocked with Vendée products: wine, beers, canned fish, and more. Each accommodation has a kitchen, but meal baskets of local products are also available for purchase, in addition to all the estate’s hospitality services.
