      A bit of history

      Today, we can still discover vestiges of this maritime past.

      • Drained marshes where local produce is grown.
      • A great diversity of species, including birds, fish and rare plants.

    As soon as they arrive, we direct our tenants to this tourist office. The staff is serious, gives good advice and always listens. The possibility of ticketing for Puy du Fou, Inter Islands cruises and many others makes the stay easier for our tourists.

    Very warm welcome! Despite our arrival a priori after closing time. Flyers of places to visit classified according to their distance from Chaillé which is very practical!
