About Lac de Maison

Open all-year round, Lac de Maison is the perfect place for your relaxing family holiday in France.

Tucked away in the picturesque countryside in the Poitou-Charentes region, we have three charming French holiday homes all with access to our 10m x 5m heated swimming pool.

Surrounded by nature and excellent amenities, you can leave your busy world behind in this secluded, three-acre French family holiday complex.

You'll find that there's plenty to keep your children busy so that you are free to relax and unwind.

Because, here at Lac de Maison, we know that happy children equal happy parents!

Outdoors we have sandpits, a football field, climbing frames, table tennis, a basketball net, a boules court, free-to-use bikes for exploring the area together and the gated and pin-code protected pool... there are also three goats (Megan, Rosie and Peggy) who all love a bit of fuss... oh, and let's not forget the chickens that lay eggs for breakfast... so if your little chickens want to grab a basket and help with the egg collections, the only question is, 'fried, boiled or scrambled?'

All this means you can focus on the more exciting details of your French family holiday, like which cheese and wine to try first!

And if you need any inspiration, then our see & do page has plenty of ideas to help you plan the best family holiday in France
