The Petit Ammonite was a perfect place to stay on our visit to the Vendee. The house is a beautifully renovated old farmstead, with beautiful grounds, in a very quiet and small hamlet. All the basics we care about were top notch: the apartment was immaculately clean and well-maintained, had a well-equipped kitchen, had reliable hot water for showers, and a reliable internet connection.
The owners, Paul and Isabelle, live on-site in another part of the property they are now renovating. Until last summer they lived in the unit we rented. They are great hosts. Paul is British and Isabelle is a native of the region and can provide good advice and local knowledge. They offered us firewood on our arrival, a place in their workshop to work on the bicycles that we had brought along for our visit, and helpful advice on the opening hours, etc... of local shops and restaurants. We would stay here again without hesitation.

A perfect place for a family to stay. Loads of space, a beautiful gite fitted to an extremely high standard. A nice pool and a huge garden.
La Rochelle, Beaches, Puy du Fou and the Venice Verte all within really easy travelling. About 6 hours from Calais on a clear run.
Special mention for Paul and Isabelle - lovely welcoming hosts - made the visit extra special. (as did Stanley).

We stayed at La Petite Ammonite in Les Chaffauds for a week in August with our 2 young children and wished we had the time to stay for 2 weeks. The cottage was immaculate and had everything you could require for a holiday stay. It is much bigger than the impression you get from the photographs and description on the website. The garden and field were safe and ideal of the kids to run free in and the pool was used every day. There is a lot to do in the locality Puy Du Fou is a must see and has to be seen to be believed. The closest beaches are a 50min drive away, are very attractive, and are great for the surf. The owners Paul and Issabel are very helpful, friendly and leave you to get on with things but will make recommendations if asked. I have no hesitation in recommending this as a holiday venue.
