Wellness stay in Vendée

Flocelliere Castle

A pause in time A date for yourself

The Château de la Flocellière, with over a thousand years of history, has always been keen to keep up with the times and understand the expectations of its guests.

The calm of the place, the quality of sleep, the beauty of the estate, the comfort of the rooms and the attention to every detail naturally led us to imagine a wellness stay in Vendée , dedicated to rejuvenation, relaxation and fitness.

We offer generous and balanced cuisine , prepared using produce from our garden and carefully selected local producers.

Our refined and carefully furnished rooms offer an environment conducive to rest and serenity.

The castle grounds offer a tranquil retreat thanks to the diversity of its gardens and its exceptional surroundings , providing an ideal setting for a relaxing stay in the Vendée region, close to nature. Located on a commanding site, protected by the Archangel Saint Michael, at the highest point in the Vendée, the estate also benefits from a granite subsoil recognized and valued by many geobiologists.

The hiking trails surrounding the property allow you to admire, approach or even hug two-hundred-year-old trees, get lost in our charming bamboo grove or simply stroll by the pond and near the old wash house.

Beneath a majestic oak tree, a vast deck offers an ideal setting for yoga, meditation or breathing sessions in the great outdoors.

The saltwater pool offers a perfect relaxing break to begin or end a day dedicated to well-being. It complements the experience of this wellness stay in the Vendée region and can be enjoyed with a fresh homemade juice or, for those who prefer, a glass of Crémant de Loire from local vineyards.

Le Donjon

A medieval edifice whose imposing stature recalls the lordly importance of the castle erected in the 12th century. The keep, a key element of medieval castle architecture, served a defensive and protective function. The thickness of the walls in the lower section bears witness to this and will instantly transport our visitors back 900 years! A 15th-century granite spiral staircase leads to each bedroom and apartment. The more athletic can climb the 120 steps to reach the suite of the beautiful Scottish woman. Their effort will be worth the view they will be rewarded with! The kitchen, dining room, and library lounge are located on the lower levels, accessible by a few steps. A French-style terraced garden, surrounded by ruins, will be the perfect spot for pleasant summer evenings. Access to the outdoor saltwater swimming pool is permitted, respecting the castle's limited number of guests. Its discreet and secure location will contribute to the success of your stay.

The wing Neo-Renaissance

This wing was rebuilt after the Revolution by the architect Arsène Charrier, who reconstructed this section, which had been burned down by the infernal columns, in a Neo-Renaissance style. It boasts elegant architectural lines, generous and light-filled rooms, a magnificent staircase, and a suite of salons, all paneled in wood with painted ceilings. The grand salon invites tranquility: a book by the fire or perhaps the desire to play the family Steinway concert piano, just waiting to be played! Meals, prepared on-site with fresh, local produce, will delight those nostalgic for the French art of living. Every detail is a step back in time: candlesticks, silverware, crystal glasses, and pendant chandeliers. In summer, everyone can enjoy the large front steps for breakfast under the rays of the rising sun, or for an aperitif at the end of the day facing the tranquility of the romantic park made up of the Italian garden and our remarkable arboretum with exotic and two-hundred-year-old species.
