William Christie's gardens at Thiré

Just a few minutes from the campsite, in the small village of Thiré, come and sharpen all your senses as you stroll leisurely along the paths of the famous William Christie Gardens.

Awakening the senses

The View : Perfectly manicured walkways to delight the eye.
The sense of smell : Enjoy the magnificent flowers with their sweet, pleasant scents as you stroll along.
Hearing : Let yourself be lulled by the calm of the small ponds or, during the famous Musical Encounters, by top-quality baroque music.

William Christie, a true specialist in Baroque music, has created a magnificent estate where the stage is set amidst water and greenery. A unique spectacle of sound and colour in the heart of the Vendée.

The Oriental Park in Maulévrier

Escape for a Zen experience in the largest Japanese garden in Europe. The Parc Oriental de Maulévrier is an invitation to travel and meditate.

Strong symbolism

Everything here has been designed according to the garden codes of the Edo period:

Nighttime walks: In season, the park lights up for poetic and mysterious nighttime tours.

The vegetation: Transparent pruning and species from the East that change with the seasons (cherry blossom trees in spring, glowing maples in autumn).

Water and bridges: The iconic red bridge and river evoke the passage of time and the cycle of life.

The grounds of Château de Terre-Neuve

Located in Fontenay-le-Comte, the Parc du Château de Terre-Neuve offers a historic, wooded setting of great elegance. This Renaissance château, which was home to illustrious figures such as Georges Simenon, is surrounded by parkland that invites you to stroll around.

A majestic setting

The wooded park : Ideal for a stroll in the shade of centuries-old trees, away from the hustle and bustle.
The architecture : The perspective of the park highlights the Renaissance façade of the château, famous for its sculpted fireplaces and stone suns.
History and nature : It's a place where you can feel the soul of the Bas-Poitou, perfect for combining a cultural visit with a moment of relaxation in the countryside.

Choosing the Les Rulières campsite means you have privileged access to these havens of peace. Whether you're a music lover, botany enthusiast or simply looking for some serenity, we'll be delighted to guide you to these places of rejuvenation.
