Saint-Gervais: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Saint-Gervais lies in a wooded bocage landscape, with distinctive places ranging from the village and wetlands to rural cultural sites. A signposted trail begins in the centre of Saint-Gervais and leads through the wooded bocage landscape to the Marais.

Those choosing Saint-Gervais as their destination can opt to rent a holiday apartment.

Nature and Activities

At Parc de la Salamandre, a wooden walkway leads to the wetlands. In this wetland landscape, moorhens and frogs can be observed or identified. Haras des Presnes is an intermunicipal equestrian centre with riding facilities for rent and a riding school.

Culture and History

A hosannière cross dating from around the 14th century stands in the cemetery of Saint-Gervais. It is considered almost unique in the Vendée. The present-day Église Saint-Gervais was completed in 1894; religious objects are displayed in a glass case inside the church.

The Grotte de Bourdevert was built in 1911 during a mission. Saint-Gervais also holds an annual pilgrimage to Notre-Dame des Bottons.

Food and Drink

Ferme du Pas de l’Ile offers direct sales from the farm, as well as free access to its shop and workshop. The farm produces and processes Mulard ducks into traditional farm products.
