Le Poyenval - the house and surroundings

Le Poyenval is a traditional, old French country house close to the centre of the village of Bazoges-en-Pareds in the Vendée, one of the most beautiful Departments of France.

The Vendée is in the region of the Western Loire (Pays de la Loire)
Le Poyenval is the ideal location to improve your French in quiet and comfortable surroundings.

There are many things to see and do in the surrounding area, many great restaurants in which to sample French cuisine and wine  - a great place in which to study, or visit!

A temperate climate - sunny and hot (but not too hot) in Summer, mild in Winter - combines with green, rolling countryside to make this a most attractive region.

There are attractions such as the coastline and sandy beaches at Les Sables d’Olonne, towns like La Rochelle with excellent dining (especially if you like seafood), and the fascinating waterways of the Marais Poitevin all within easy reach.
