All the local shops are in the village. The forest of La Chaize, the banks of the River Yon and the many hiking trails make it easy to take full advantage of the natural beauty of the Vendée. The village and surrounding area are packed with historic sites that bear witness to the history of the Vendée. These include the 12th-century church of Saint-Jacques and a number of beautiful old houses offering authentic charm. A few kilometres away is Trizay Abbey, a remarkable site steeped in history. The four-storey château is of great elegance. The south-west façade is a superb example of a reinterpretation of the Louis XIII style that was in vogue in the Vendée region around 1850. Garlands of flowers, blind oculi and curvilinear pediments make for a highly successful 17th-century pastiche. Two male and two female masks on the two towers add to the finesse of the decoration. The facade facing the park is much more restrained, although its scrolled dormer keeps the style consistent. Inside, the château has been renovated using quality materials over a surface area of 600 sqm (around 200 sqm per floor). The former owner worked passionately for 7 years to restore this superb residence to its former glory. An interior designer has created a harmonious whole. The rooms are light and airy, with high ceilings. The herringbone parquet flooring is original. The woodwork, mouldings and rosettes give the property a noble character. On the ground floor, after climbing the steps to the porch, you enter the hall, which features an admirable semi-circular suspended staircase. The walls and ceiling are decorated with elaborate woodwork. To the right is a vast lounge. To the left is the dining room. Continuing down the hall, on the right is a very beautiful, spacious and luminous fitted kitchen, with an original vegetable garden. To the left is a large bedroom and bathroom. Another bedroom completes the ground floor. On the first floor, a vast landing leads to 4 large, light and airy bedrooms and 4 shower rooms and a small bedroom. On the second floor, the landing, lit by a glass roof, leads to two bedrooms and a large dormitory. Several other rooms can also be converted into bedrooms. A bathroom can also be fitted (arrivals). In the basement, covering the entire surface area of the château, the cellar is impressive in its size. A central corridor separates several technical rooms, including a magnificent wine cellar, ideal for tastings. Outbuildings : - An outbuilding was renovated into a reception room 2 years ago. The surface area is approximately 160 sqm. The work was carried out by an architect. The decor is tasteful and contemporary. Large windows look out over the park and the front of the château. You enter a bar area with a counter. On the right is the catering area and sanitary facilities. To the left is the large dining room, which can accommodate 100 people standing and 40 seated. - A small pavilion in the park The park covers more than 19 acres (8 hectares) and is divided into different areas. Opposite the château, around a bend in a path lined with carefully pruned cypress trees, you'll discover a formal garden with symmetrical flowerbeds and topiary, and an elegant fountain in the centre. Further on, beneath the majestic foliage of centuries-old trees - gnarled oaks, imposing cedars and purple beeches - stretches a vast pond, a tranquil mirror reflecting the sky in a thousand shades. Sheltered from view, a statue of the Blessed Virgin keeps watch, frozen in her benevolent posture, offering walkers a moment of contemplation in the heart of this tamed nature. The park undergoes a metamorphosis through the seasons: a golden glow in autumn, a powdery coat in winter, a floral symphony in spring and an ocean of greenery in summer.
