Historic Vendée
Vendée — Le Boupère, France
Le GrandChaillou
A family house in the heart of the bocage, beside a 19th-century Vendée logis, on six hectares of quiet.
Arrival
You leave the road, you follow the lane.
Le Grand Chaillou rewards those who come for it. A path between oaks, the crunch of gravel under tyres, then the logis revealing itself — pale stone, weathered tiles, sage-green shutters. The keeper's house waits, single-storey, beside the historic building.
“Here, the silence has a voice.”
The house
Single-storey, lived simply.
Three bedrooms, a bathroom with bathtub, a separate WC. A living-dining room around the wood stove. A modern fitted kitchen opening onto the garden. The house folds itself around the table — everything begins from there.

The estate
Six hectares for you alone.
Meadows, hedges, old oaks, an orchard glimpsed behind a wall. The Vendée bocage at its purest — rolling, alive, lined with ferns. Roe deer cross at dawn, meals are taken outside on warm days.

First impressions
They walked through the gate.
A few travellers stayed at Le Grand Chaillou ahead of opening. Here are their words.
Three days as a family to discover Puy du Fou. The kids ran wild in the meadow between shows, and we ended each evening by the wood stove. The house kept its promise — quiet, plenty of space, and everything within reach.
We were looking for a weekend to switch off. We found much more: silence at dawn, coffee on the terrace facing the oaks, and birdsong rising from the bocage. We'll be back in autumn.
Six friends, four days, a long table in front of the fireplace. Tiffauges and Les Sables-d'Olonne in the same day, the house always waiting for us. It carried our laughter beautifully.
Single-storey made all the difference for my parents. My mum could enjoy the garden without worrying about stairs. Three generations under one roof, and each of us found a corner.
