La Châtaigneraie is an historic little town that lies near the border with the Deux-Sèvres department, combining the best of the two departments and their respective regions. Basing yourself in this town gives access to the lively seaside resorts of the Vendée coast, the peaceful rolling countryside of the Bocage, the unique Green Venice waterways and marshes of the Deux-Sèvres, and a multitude of lovely old market towns and heritage sights.
The main sight in La Châtaigneraie is the town's church, which has some stunning stained glass windows and is well worth a look. Many of the town's buildings are historic, and the atmosphere is that of a tranquil, traditional Vendéen town. La Châtaigneraie, however, has a good complement of shops and services to make life easy and pleasant. Shops, supermarkets, café's and restaurants can all be found within the town limits, so there is no need to travel long distances for those everyday necessities, or even to treat yourself to a lunch or evening out.
The town also caters for those who like to get active with a swimming pool and other sports facilities. Indeed sportsmen and women can find access to many different activities in the area, with golf, horse-riding, swimming, tennis and cycling to name just a few of the most popular.
The beautiful market town of Fontenay le Compte is on the doorstep, and a market day visit (Saturday) is highly recommended. The River Vendée has its source close to la Châtaigneraie, and riverside walks are always a delightful activity for sunny days. Travelling slightly further afield might take you to the popular seaside towns of the Vendée coast, where you can find everything from fun fairs for the children to discos and nightclubs for the grown ups, as well as some of France's favourite golden beaches.
Travelling further inland, the Deux-Sèvres department offers the chance to take a boat trip along the unique waterways and canals of the Green Venice area. Then you may like to pay a visit to Poitiers and its fabulous theme park Futuroscope, or even to take a drive through the Loire Valley to marvel at the magnificent chateaux.
