Au Passage du Gois, Beauvoir-sur-Mer Holiday Rentals & B&B

Description for B&B:

We are living the dream – Why not sample a taste of it for yourself? Welcome at “Au Passage du Gois” in Beauvoir-sur-Mer, located at the splendid Vendée coastline, holiday region the Atlantic Loire area. A lot of sun, sea and beaches and still less than 400 kilometres from the port of Cherbourg and approx. 200 km north of Bordeaux. The Vendée is well known for its beautiful sandy beaches, but also known for it’s micro climate! The most sunshine hours of France after the Rivièra (only the beer is much cheaper in the Vendée!). For this reason a visit in each season is worthwhile. Come and discover it for yourself. There are both at the coast and inland a lot of nice curiosities and activities. We have 3 B&B rooms - Chambres d'hôtes and this means that you can spend the night in our family room one of the two rooms on the court yard. In addition we let out a holiday cottage (4 pers.), with 2 sleeping rooms, which is built in the old sheep stable. We also let out the main house (1810) with 4 bedrooms (6-8 pers.) and a 2-3 person appartment. On walking distance and the entrance of the Passage du Gois, there are 3 restaurants and more in our village at 4km. In summer (may-sept. we propose meals in our summer kitchen). With its 240 kilometres long coast line, of which 140 kilometres are fine sandy beaches, the Vendée is one of the best holiday-regions of France. The coast has something to offer everyone. This varies from picturesque fishing towns, rock formations, islands off the coast (Ile Noirmoutier and Ile d’Yeu) to sociable and lively coastal places and of course the Passage du Gois and its splendid nature, particularly birds. For those who enjoy sports there are many varied choices, such as several surfing possibilities (windsurfing, kite surfing and sand sailing), golfing on the golf courses along the sea, walking, cycling and horseback riding. For children there are apart from the beaches the water parks, zoos and aquariums. The Vendée is also known for its rich history, of which still a lot remains. This is mainly visible in the green undulating inland countryside better known as the Bocage. There are several museums, historical monuments, castles and abbeys to visit. We have all the documentation available. You can find an overview at the website of the local tourist office of the Vendée www.vendeetourisme.com. An attraction especially not to miss, is the historical amusement park Puy du Fou (a fantastic journey through 2000 years of history). Just like the coast the Bocage is well known for its large variety of walking tours and bicycle possibilities along the several lakes and rivers, as well as the wine regions in the south of the Vendée. It’s time for a holiday, a time to enjoy. See you soon.
