Description :
This brand new spacious villa is situated 700 metres from the vendee blue flag beaches and 150 metres from lush pine forest, which has many walking trails including some which lead to the beach. A 10 minute walk will take you into the village of St Vincent-Sur-Jard, or the town and port of Jard-Sur-Mer, depending on which way you walk, and both have tourist information offices.
There are several first class bakeries providing wonderful freshly baked baguettes and a large Super U supermarket two minutes drive away.
The house is situated in a quiet rural residential area offering peace and tranquillity, yet a 10 minute walk into town will offer you a wide variety of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants. There is a lively nightlife at the harbour area with free entertainment every night during the summer months.
St Vincent-sur-Jard is famous for having the seaside residence of former French President Georges Clemenceau. The villa and gardens are open to the public and the house is still as it was when he lived there.

About the Location
THE COAST OF LIGHT
The "COAST of LIGHT", is what this area is known as. Whether you are looking for quite coves, or beaches with every water sport under the sun, this coast is for you.
THE VENDEE is a large département (or county) about the size of Devon or Cumbria (or, for American readers, somewhere between the size of Maine and West Virginia), located on the French Atlantic coast, just south of Brittany and Nantes, and north of La Rochelle. Its position, within 2 to 5 hours of the various western ferry ports, makes the area an easy day's journey from Britain and Ireland. The population, according to the 1999 census, is 540,000.
The name "Vendée" is taken from that of a river that runs through the south-east of the département. After crossing the forest of Mervent it flows through the town of Fontenay-le-Comte, which used to be the capital of Bas-Poitou - the county's name was changed to Vendée after the French Revolution of 1789, until Napoleon decided his soldiers could keep the Vendeans in order more easily from La Roche-sur-Yon. The river meanders on through the marshes to meet the Sevre Niortaise, and turns west to meet the sea in the bay known as the Anse de l'Aiguillon.
Though several beautiful tourism brochures for the département are produced, you do not seem to come across many of them in the UK. If you contact the departmental tourist bureau direct (tel: +33 (0)2 51 47 88 22; fax: (0)2 51 05 37 01) and ask for brochures you should receive some substantial brochures called something like "Horizons Vendée", or "Vendée Bleue, Vendée Verte" - they vary the title a bit from year to year.
