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.
