BIENVENUE
A slower kind of holiday
La Petite Guyonnière sits in open Vendée farmland outside the village of Maché, looking across fields and forest. Two gîtes share the courtyard, the gardens and a heated 10 x 5 metre pool — take one, or take both and have the place to yourselves.
Diane and Chris live on site. They will meet you on arrival, point you at the best bakery, and otherwise leave you to it.
The accommodation
