What is glamping on La Colline?

Glamping on La Colline combines the atmosphere of outdoor holidays with the convenience of ready-to-enjoy accommodation. Instead of bringing all your own equipment, you stay in accommodation that is already set up and equipped for holiday life.

At Camping Village de la Guyonnière, accommodation is fully equipped and includes, among other things:

• Crockery
• Garden furniture
• Microwave
• Pillows
• Duvets

That means you can enjoy the outdoor feel of a campsite holiday while keeping everyday comfort close at hand. For many families, that balance is exactly what makes glamping so appealing.

Why La Colline is such a sought-after area

A holiday location is not only about the accommodation itself. It is also about the position, the view, and the mood of the place where you spend your mornings and evenings.

La Colline is especially attractive because it overlooks the Lac du Jaunay valley and the pony club. An elevated area naturally creates a stronger feeling of openness. You can often enjoy quieter surroundings, longer views, and a stronger connection to the landscape around you.

The value of waking up to a view

A scenic view adds something real to a stay. It shapes the pace of the day.

With glamping on La Colline, mornings can begin more gently:

• Open the door and look out over the valley
• Enjoy breakfast in a more peaceful atmosphere
• Watch the campsite surroundings wake up
• Set off for the day feeling already immersed in the holiday setting

For families, couples, and guests who want more than a purely functional place to sleep, this kind of setting matters.

A family-friendly atmosphere

The view towards the pony club adds character to the area. It gives La Colline a holiday feel that is both lively and calm. Children often enjoy being close to spaces that spark curiosity, while adults appreciate a setting that feels open and well-positioned within the campsite.

It also connects naturally with a broader family holiday in the Vendée, where outdoor experiences, day trips, and relaxed on-site time all work together.
