12m x 6m heated swimming pool & grounds:
The swimming pool has been specifically designed and built with children's enjoyment in mind. The pool has both a safety fence and a child safety gate & so conforms fully to French safety laws.
The shallow end of the pool has large steps which have been made wider than normal - one is a meter wide which makes an ideal area for young babies and toddlers to play in. The shallow end is only 1.05m deep (i.e. shallower than normal), so young children can stand in the water easily. The shallow end then gradually slopes down to a depth of 1.55m.
The pool is surrounded by 120m2 of timber decking with plenty of sun loungers for sunbathing. The L-shaped pool has a large terrace next to the pool steps where the whole family can relax and enjoy themselves.
Please note - the pool is shared by all three of our properites - Le Palmier, Le Pressoir and La Pergola
Local Activities to keep you entertained......:
For the more energetic, the beach has a 6-hectare area of water for people wishing to learn water sports. The 'Cercle Nautique Tranchais' offers sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and sand-sailing. The area is also superb for boating and surfing enthusiasts
The large fishing port of l'Aiguillon is just 10 minutes away. Early risers can choose from a range of freshly-caught fish, mussels, oysters, langoustine and gambas at the town's fish market which is open every weekday at 5am.
