Beat the rain and recession blues!

It seems that ever since the UK entered “drought” conditions, it has done nothing but rain! The land is definitely crying out for some moisture, but the non-stop downpours can certainly dampen your spirits.

To top it all off, the UK has re-entered recession, adding more gloom to the already dark and dismal days.

So, what better way to escape all this misery than by paying a visit to the Vendee and taking a look at The Foussais House!

With exchange rates being very favourable at the moment for transferring pounds to euros – shop around and you can get €1.20 – it’s an ideal time to move your money to France and snap up a bargain.

Make us an offer today and you could be enjoying the glorious late Vendeen summer by the pool, sipping a glass of pineau and soaking up the sun.

We’ll be waiting to hear from you :)

Let’s Get Social!

Buying a new property is a big decision, so it’s important to ask lots of questions and find out as much about the house and the area before you commit to signing on the dotted line. So we like to make it very easy to get in touch with us in all sorts of ways.

You can Email us at thefoussaishouse@gmail.com and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

You can use the Contact Us page to send us a message direct from the site. Again, we will respond as soon as we can for you.

Looking forward to another excellent exhibition extravaganza!

One of the highlights of the year in this region is Le Grand Pavois – the annual international boat show at La Rochelle. La Rochelle is only 1hr 15 from Foussais and this makes it a great day out.

While the boat show itself is well worth a visit, especially if you are of a nautical bent, it is really the Voiles de Nuit that we mainly go to see. This is usually held on the last Saturday of the week-long exhibition and consists of a spectacular light, sound and firework show held on the banks of the ancient harbour. There is also a beautiful parade of boats in and out of the “twin towers” of the old port, accompanied by haunting music.

Everyone crowds on the banks with a picnic and enjoys the show in great spirit. It really is a fantastic occasion and one not to be missed. If you owned a property here in the south Vendée, you’d be able to see it every year! So what are you waiting for? Get exploring the house and start living here in time for next year’s event :)
