About this property
When staying at Le Logis Du Général, you are not only enjoying a beautiful and elegant home but also becoming part of a remarkable 18th-century estate surrounded by exquisite gardens and over 100 hectares of parkland in the Vendée. Once home to a general during the Vendée wars of the French Revolution, the estate is now a classified national historic monument, with an impressive château just a short walk away.
The property features ten bedrooms, nine within the elegant main house and adjoining annexe, plus a tenth in a simple neighbouring studio. Inside, the interiors combine historic charm with comfort, showcasing fine furnishings, antique details and ornate décor carefully preserved by the owners.
Outside, beautifully maintained gardens with rose-filled borders and sweeping lawns provide a peaceful setting. Guests can relax by the heated swimming pool and pool house, complete with a kitchen, long dining table, Wi-Fi and music system. Activities include a private tennis court, billiards, table tennis, badminton and volleyball, or simply exploring the estate’s woodland and ponds.
Nearby villages offer bakeries and markets, while the Atlantic coast’s sandy beaches, charming seaside towns and the island of Noirmoutier are all within easy reach for memorable day trips.

Jonathan M.
A truly wonderful experience for the whole family. Stunning location, superbly comfortable, catered for all our needs (3 generations!). M and Mme Vrignaud welcomed us and came every day to attend to our needs. We especially enjoyed the pool room where we ate every. Comments from the family; "It was an awesome place aren't we so lucky that we could all get together to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday in such beautiful surroundings." "Thank you for finding such an amazing and relaxing spot." "Thank you for an amazing stay in France it's something I will never forget, it was so good to have all the family together where we could all just escape and relax." The only criticism is that a handrail by the steps into the pool would be much appreciated. (some difficulty getting in and out unaided for older people)
