The Vendee is an excellent destination for rural holidays.
Obviously some people are worried about farm smells, or the sound of the tractor going down the lane at 6 am and this sort of holiday might not be for them. However, some establishments that aren't real working farms offer a compromise in having a few domesticated amimals around just for the pleasure.
The owners of these three holiday properties offer to take the children on a guided tour of the farm and see the cows being milked.
