We have extended the swimming pool, created a wildflower meadow, a secured area for our chickens, a Croquet-gazijn, a tiered Potager (organic vegetable garden) and a Boules job, so now there are more activities for our guests, while we live on site we advise you about the places to visit and eat. we are here to make your holiday as pleasant as possible.

Location & area recommendations

Additional information

An hour and a fifteen minute drive away are the beautiful beaches and the picturesque La Rochelle, where there are museums, shops and restaurants. The Ile de Re has a 90 km bike path, and you can even encounter donkeys. We are here on a short drive from the two top theme parks, the Futuroscope in Poitiers, with all sorts of interactive attractions and rides, and the Puy du Fou, with spectacular outdoor shows and replica villages. The Marais Poitevin is a fascinating area with meadows and marshes - rent a boat there and sail for a day on the meandering streams. There are also walking and cycling paths. Locally there are several water parks, with swimming lakes, beaches, water slides and other water activities. Pescalis, a fishing lake, is only 10 minutes drive away - you can fish for carp up to 25 kg. 10 minutes away is the 'Adventure Forest' and a go-kart track (very popular with our visitors). North of l'Absie is the Rocher Branlant - the rock that moves a little when pushed. Parthenay, Niort and Poitiers are bustling cities with a medieval past. The village of Vouvant is great for hiking and the nearby Mervent has a small zoo. There is a Chateau at Coulonges sur l'Autize, and the Chateau and Jardin Medieval de la Guyonniere is located at Parthenay. A nice day trip can be made to the Chateau in Saumur and the Loire valley. Very close by is a number of excellent hiking and biking tours, for which we have detailed maps. We also advise on local festivals, markets, 'vide greniers' and special events. The iconic Tour de France 2018 starts just over the border in Vendee on 7 July. For the first 3 days, many events are only 19 - 50 minutes away! A real French experience for the door! After 3 exciting days in the Tour de France, you can enjoy the rest of your holiday in our area, where there are many cycle routes, a visit to the many tourist attractions, or just relax by the pool. We offer 8 nights, from Friday 6 July to Saturday the 14th to 7% discount! Contact us for more information. Free Wi-Fi is available on site for all gîtes and each gîte has a good selection of books and games. All kitchens are well equipped and we have cots, cot mattresses, children's plates and cutlery, high chairs, a baby bath, a changing mat and a pot for families with young children. There is an extensive range of information in each Gite from tourist attractions, local restaurants, to shops and walks. We have created two comprehensive map guides with details of more than 40 things to do / see within a 25-minute radius of Les Glycines and more than 100 things to do for a day out a little further. Detailed hiking maps and Michelin guides are also available. A welcome pack is included in every cottage on arrival - it includes some milk, cheese, bread, wine, barbecue charcoal and some of our own delicious eggs. We supply bed linen, small towels and kitchen towels, but ask you to bring your own bath towels and bed linen.
