Discover the best of the region
Along with the well-known wonders of Le Puy du Fou and Parc Oriental, our corner of France is brimming with incredible experiences. From serene lakes and historic castles to stunning coastlines and gastronomic delights, there's something here for everyone.
Let us guide you to the local gems that make a stay at Le Logis de Stofflet truly unforgettable.
The Oriental Park
The Oriental Park of Maulévrier opens its doors each year from the 15th of March to the 15th of November. It is rated now as the largest Japanese-inspired botanical garden in Europe. It attracts over 220,000 visitors a year and is a must see in our village. The entrance is less than 150 m walking distance from Le Logis.
This peaceful setting offers a true moment of relaxation, especially beneath the cherry blossoms or trees pruned in cloud formations. If you are visiting in the spring, during the Hanami season, you can bring a picnic and enjoy lunch on the lawn under the blossoms.
Le Puy du Fou
Le Puy du Fou, located in Les Epesses in Vendée (25 minutes away from Le Logis), is a unique theme park offering a spectacular immersion into history through grand shows and historical re-enactments.
“Unlike traditional amusement parks, Puy du Fou celebrates ancestral skills and highlights the age-old connection between humans and animals. From Ancient Rome to the early days of cinema, embark on a journey through time filled with emotion. With its 20 spectacular shows, four period villages, and 100 hectares of nature, Puy du Fou offers an unforgettable experience.” (from the Puy du Fou website)
Visitors travel through different historical periods, from Antiquity to the French Revolution, in a beautifully preserved natural setting. Puy du Fou is an unforgettable experience for the whole family, combining history with exceptional artistic craftsmanship.
