Welcome to Our Local Guide

Everything you need to know before you arrive at Le Mimosa

Whether you’re dreaming of long, lazy days by the pool, beach picnics with the kids, or browsing French markets followed by a glass of rosé, we’ve got you covered.


We’ve spent over a decade living, holidaying, and hosting right here in this beautiful corner of the Vendée.


Between our own family stays and the incredible guests we’ve welcomed year after year, we’ve seen it all and we love helping you make the most of every moment.


From the sandy beaches to the splash parks, from local vineyards to toddler-friendly cafés, we’ve pulled together everything we know, because we genuinely want your stay at Le Mimosa to feel like your own little slice of French magic.


This isn’t your average tourist info, we’re giving you our real, trusted favourites.
