L'Ecurie: Michelle, Kim, Caitlin, Josh & baby Rosie, Middlesex. September 2024
Never holidayed in France before and now wondering how we've missed out on such a wonderful place for so long!!
Came to celebrate a 60th Birthday and had such a blast with glorious sunshine and great company all the way through our short week there - with 14 people across 2 houses.
Annette and Jason are the perfect hosts with bountiful knowledge of all that's good in the area to explore - whether the best bakery, most accommodating beach (especially important if you've younger kids), the best places to shop or eat out - just ask away and all will be revealed!!

Le Vieux Café: Palmer Family, Middlesex. September 2024
Thank you for letting us stay the week in both of your beautiful houses!
We have had a great week. The kids have had a blast in the pool and games room!
We hope to return in the future.

Restaurant overlooking the sea at La Tranche sur Mer
L'Ecurie: Jan & Mike, Jersey. September 2024
Back again this year for the second time!
Weather slightly better than May!!
Great to have a relaxing break & stock up on wine.
As usual had some superb lunches with a new one this time: La Petite Taverne at Moutiers-sur-le-Lay. Daily menu 19 euros for 3 courses + glass of wine - very good value. We however chose the main menu of 3 courses for 35 euros with plenty of choice.
Highly recommend also Restaurant Desamy at Mareuil-sur-Lay if you like fine dining - a Michelin Star - not to be missed.
Thanks for your hospitality.

L’Ecurie : Heather & Edward, Fareham, Hants. September 2024
Our fifth stay at L’Ecurie and it’s as lovely as ever being here. Still bowled over by how absolutely everything has been thought of by Jason and Annette to make a holiday as relaxing as possible.
Thank you both for your generosity and hospitality.
We have particularly enjoyed the wildlife this year. Needless to say we will be back to this beautiful, quiet part of France and a perfect place to stay.
Le Bal des Oiseaux Fantomes at the Puy du Fou
Le Vieux Café: Martha, Michael, Charlie & Edward, Guildford. August 2024
Thank you again for another fantastic stay – rapidly becoming a home from home!
We still haven’t managed to work out how to describe the Puy du Fou, except to say “Go! It’s amazing!”
Plans are already being hatched for our next trip back.
Heated pool at Maison Lairoux Holiday Cottages
L’Ecurie: Arnos, Oscar & Olivia, Cranleigh. August 2024
We thank you for a very nice stay! We all felt very welcomed here and it is a beautiful place too! We all enjoyed the pool which was really nice and warm.
The cats were very sweet, Fleur in particular!
What we also enjoyed was the gym and also the games room. The fruit from the bushes and trees tasted great!
The games were really fun – pool/snooker was a particular favourite. There was a lot to do here and we barely got bored.
The house was very spacious and also very cute.
We will never forget this stay here and hopefully come again. Thank you so much!
Childrens playground at L
L’Ecurie: Sam, Sophie, Roberta, Freya & Phoebe, Cambridge. August 2024
We have had a wonderful stay at L'Ecrie and Jason and Annette have been very welcoming and informative during our stay!
We spent most of our days by the pool and utilising the well equipped games room, but also enjoyed the beaches at Le Terrière and La Tranche sur Mer too.
lots of crusty french bread, cheese, wine and ice creams enjoyed by all!
Many thanks for such an enjoyable holiday!
Arriving at La Tranche sur Mer Beach
Vieux Café: Gibb Family, Brighton. August 2024.
We have loved staying here! It was our 3rd time, and we’re loved it just as much as before.
Our favourite things are Puy du Fou, O’Gliss Waterpark (though it can be busy) and La Tranche sur Mer beach.
We would recommend the Equinoxe restaurant for great seafood or the Goldwing for a good range (and vegetarian options). If you go to the Goldwing, make sure to get there for 7pm as that’s when they start serving food and it gets very busy (queues out the door!)
Hattie: My name is Hattie, and I loved the games room and the pool. Also, my sister’s right about the attractions being so good, so THANK YOU!
If you go to La Tranche beach you should go to the beach in the evening to spend time at the beach. Then you could go to the Goldwing for dinner! When I was walking back from the Goldwing, I saw a jelly fish and little hermit crabs because the tide was so far out and the yellow buoys weren’t in the water!!
Rusty enjoying the garden at Maison Lairoux Holiday Cottages
L’Ecurie: Christine, Robert, Arthur, Gaspard & Rusty the dog. Luxembourg. August 2024
Great 2 weeks at L’Ecurie! Thanks to Jason and Annette we were able to visit Puy du Fou. Rusty had a lot of fun staying with them. Thank you so much!
We loved the place, especially view from the terrace. Boys had a lot of fun with the pool and especially the Games Room.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.
La Belle Henriette Coastal Walk
L’Ecurie : Lucy, Jason, Grace & Mike July/August 2024
Another great week for our 12th (wish) visit here! Beautiful sunsets & very hot weather.
Would recommend the boardwalk in La Faute sur Mer to La Belle Henriette. Also the Speakeasy Bar on the way to Lu
çon, and the Viviera Pizzeria in Mareuil-sur-Lay.
1st week was mainly a lazy & relaxing one before we collected Grace & Mike from Nantes airport - recommend La Cigale in Nantes for a spot of brekkie!
L'Atlantique Hotel in La Tranche is good too.
Thank you Jason & Annette for the drinks & chats.

Pizza Rico in La Tranche sur Mer
L’Ecurie: Harley, Elle, Harvey & Liam, Berkshire. July 2024

Harley has been coming here for 10+ years. This was Harvey & Liam’s first time abroad.
We visited the zoo in Les Sables d’Olonne. The boys went to the O’Fun Park and climbed some trees, then on the last night we went to Futuroscope which we would highly recommend.
Recommendations for Food: Pizza Rico in La Tranche sur Mer.
Overall, Annette & Jason have been very accommodating as usual.
Thank you for another wonderful stay.
Sunset at Maison Lairoux Holiday Cottages
L’Ecurie : Joanna, Eamonn, Emma & Zoe. Wicklow, Ireland. July 2024
We enjoyed yet another stay here at L’Ecurie. We visited the Puy du Fou where we saw many of the shows including the new show “Le Mime et l’Etoile”. We also went to the O’Fun Park, O’Gliss Park and Vendée Karting.
The gîte was well equipped as always with everything needed and more.
We spent many days by the pool and enjoyed playing in the games room before watching the sunset every night.
Thank you so much to Jason and Annette for being wonderful hosts and can’t wait to come back soon.
Vineyards of the Vendee
L’Ecurie : Pat & Paul, Devon. June 2024
Our first time at L'Ecurie Holiday Cottage and we will definitely return.
We've really enjoyed our stay and found the gite to be very much home from home and so well equipped.
Unfortunately the weather hasn't been brilliant, but gave us the opportunity to tour the area. One of our visits was Port Bourgenay and had an enjoyable lunch at Le Vintage Restaurant.
Thank you Annette & Jason - you've been great hosts.
Billards in the Gamesroom at Maison Lairoux
Le Vieux Café & L’Ecurie : Erik & family. The Hague, Netherlands. May 2024
Thank you for the very lovely stay in your beautiful house! The kids loved the pool and the playroom very much!
Nice area and beaches. The house was so fully equipped!!

A tip for the next guests for a nice dinner: Le Cul de Poule, La Faute sur Mer.

Boats in La Rochelle Harbour
L’Ecurie : Nina & Robert, Weymouth. April 2024
L’Ecurie is the most comfortable and best equipped holiday cottage we’ve stayed in, topped by a 4 star welcome from our hosts Jason & Annette. It’s so quiet here and we haven’t slept so well in a long time.
Thanks for waiting up for us and for the perfect end of journey provisions. We’ll definitely be taking home some bottles from Pierre Folles!
We hope you have a great summer season with more wonderful guests like the ones who’ve written in this book! A Bientot!
