RENTAL SAINT LAURENT SUR SÈVRE : 

Need a change of scenery? Discoveries, quiet interludes far from the crowd? Why not opt for a vacation in the Vendée? On the border of the Deux-Sèvres and Maine-et-Loire departments, Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre is the ideal place to put down your bags with family or friends for a change of scenery. Let's go!

Inland, 1 hour from Sables-d'Olonne, Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre is located in the heart of the Pays de la Loire region. Crossed from one side to the other by the Sèvre Nantaise, this village in the Vendée bocage is nicknamed the "Holy City of the Vendée" thanks to Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, a Catholic priest and founder of charitable schools, whose tomb receives some 25,000 visitors a year, like John Paul II who came to pay tribute to him in 1996. His tomb, located in the basilica of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, is in the region a high place of pilgrimage whose visit is a must. It's great to take the time to stroll in the heart of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre! In all seasons, you can take advantage of a whole bunch of hiking trails perfect for discovering the beauty of the Vendée bocage, the Barbin viaduct, the mills and the Roger site, especially during quiet strolls along the river, through the Barbinière wood!

Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre is a quiet destination, but it does host a few festivities, notably the Poupet Festival, which saw Elton John, David Guetta, Stromae and Indochine give concerts at the Château de La Barbinière.

But if Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre is so popular with families, it is thanks to its strategic location only 9 kilometers from the Puy-du-Fou! A great amusement park located in the heart of the Vendée, elected best amusement park in the world, it offers a real experience of jumping in time, with day and night shows (La Cinéscénie), adventure shows but also reconstitutions of medieval villages, 18th century villages, an animal maze, the imaginary world of La Fontaine and immersive events that will delight the whole family.

Finally, for those who dream of taking a dip in the sea, head for Les Sables-d'Olonne, a short hour's drive from Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre! Depending on the time of year, you can watch boat races, swim, attend concerts, visit museums, and enjoy hand-in-hand walks and seaside dinners... All of which makes this vacation absolutely perfect!
