formats await you in Vendrennes: the Lodge tent and the Tithome chalet, both 20 m² and designed for 4 people. You are looking for a unusual accommodation near Puy du Fou, simple but with a real bed and a covered terrace? Welcome to La Motte campsite !
Our 2 unusual accommodations, 20 km from the Grand Parc
Our Unusual range includes 2 rental units, from lodge tents to small wooden chalets: the Lodge tent and the Tithome chalet.
These two unusual accommodation at the gates of Puy du Fou measure 20 m² and can accommodate people spread across 2 bedrooms and open onto a covered terrace with garden furniture and a sun lounger. Whether you are planning a full week or a simple weekend at Le Puy du Fou,, you reach the park in about twenty minutes by road.
These 2 formats extend our range ofunusual accommodation in Vendée, with equipment deliberately reduced compared with a mobile home: neither heating nor a shower in the rental. The Tithome chalet does still have a private WC, while the Lodge tent relies entirely on the campsite’s shared toilet blocks.
It is the counterpart of a stay in campsite closer to nature, with the comfort of a real bed and a fitted kitchen.
In short: the 2 unusual rentals at a glance:
- Capacity: 4 people in 2 bedrooms.
- Floor area: 20 m² per accommodation, plus a covered terrace.
- Distance: 20 kilometres from the Grand Parc du Puy du Fou, about twenty minutes by car.
- Kitchen: fitted kitchenette in both rentals, with a refrigerator, a microwave and 2 gas burners.
- Facilities: private WC in the Tithome chalet, shared blocks for the Lodge tent. No heating and no shower in the accommodation.
- Setting: 4 hectares of greenery and tall trees, with a private pond of 3000 square metres.
- Sleeping arrangements: a 140 cm double bed, 80 cm single beds and a raised bed in the Tithome chalet.
The Lodge tent, 20 m² under canvas for 4 people
The Lodge tent reconnects with the original campsite, without the sleeping bag laid straight on the ground.
Its 20 m² under canvas are home to bedrooms, a dining corner and a kitchen, extended by a covered terrace.
We reserve this unusual rental near Puy du Fou for campers looking for simplicity and a chance to switch off, those who spend their days outdoors and do not see the shower in the communal block as a drawback.
Here is what you will find in the Lodge tent:
- bedrooms : one with a 140 double bed, the second with 2 single beds of 80 side by side.
- The kitchenette brings together 2 gas burners, a refrigerator, a microwave, a filter coffee maker and the crockery, but no sink.
- Pillows, duvets and blankets are waiting for you on site, with a welcome kit.
- Outside, the covered terrace holds a garden lounge set and a sun lounger.
- No television or heating do not disturb this deliberate simplicity.
The camping de la Motte team’s view: the Lodge tent appeals most to campers who want to sleep in a tent without having to pitch their own. We recommend bringing headlamps and a small basin for the washing-up, as the kitchenette has no sink. The nearest toilet block is open day and night, and the wheelbarrows at reception make it easier to carry luggage from the car park.
The Tithome chalet, halfway between canvas and wood
The Tithome chalet adds wooden walls and a private WC to this simplicity.
Its 20 m² sit between the tent and the mobile home rental near Puy du Fou, with 2 bedrooms fitted with blackout curtains and a television in the living room.
Our range also goes up to the luxury mobile home in Vendée with a private spa: the Tithome chalet aims for the opposite, the essentials, done well. Its stated capacity of 4 people is especially suited to adults and 2 children, because the second bedroom combines a lower bed and an upper bed.
This unusual accommodation near Puy du Fou is made up of the following elements:
- bedrooms : one bedroom has a 140 cm double bed, the second an 80 cm single bed and a bed set up high.
- The kitchen area has a cold-water sink, 2 gas burners, a fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker.
- A private WC saves you night-time trips back and forth to the toilet block.
- The blackout curtains of the 2 bedrooms block out the evening and early-morning light.
- As for the living area, the television sets the Tithome apart from the Lodge tent, which does not have one.
- In front of the entrance, the covered terrace comes with garden furniture and a sun lounger.
Our favourite: the wooden walls and private WC of the Tithome chalet, which change everyday life compared with canvas, especially with young children who get up in the night. In April and September, pack a jumper and an extra duvet, as the accommodation has no heating. And keep the covered terrace for breakfasts, sheltered from the dew.
Your days between shows, a fishing pond and heated pools, not far from Puy du Fou
From your unusual rental, you reach the Grand Parc of Puy du Fou in about twenty minutes by car. We book the Grand Parc and Cinéscénie tickets for you at reception: a real time-saver, as Cinéscénie evenings sell out several weeks in advance!
On the way back, our campsite with a water park near Puy du Fou opens up for you heated swimming pools, 3 water slides, a paddling pool and a spa. The indoor pool opens from the beginning of April, well before the first warm weather. Anglers, meanwhile, head for the pond from late afternoon.
On site, several activities are available free of charge during your stay:
- The private pond of 3000 m² awaits the anglers, pike, carp and roach included.
- play areas each correspond to an age group, from ages 1 to 5 up to teenagers.
- The mini-farm and its animals, the zip line and the pedal-kart track fill the afternoons.
- Pool, table football and board games take over in the indoor room on rainy days.
Our tips for a successful weekend: book your nights early, as our 2 unusual lodges can each sleep only 4 people and they fill up fast. Order your bread the day before at reception; it will be waiting for you from 8:00. Keep a morning free for the mini-farm, where the children feed the animals whatever their age. Our favourite: the bike ride out to the Château de la Noue!
The Vendée bocage a few kilometres from your rental
Your stay in unusual accommodation at Puy du Fou does not stop at the park gates. The Vendée bocage, the coast and the Pays de la Loire can be visited in a day from your rental:
- Les Herbiers and the Mont des Alouettes, 8 kilometres away, delight visitors with their windmills and their wide view over the bocage.
- A few minutes away, the Lac de la Tricherie lends itself to a swim in the open air, under the trees.
- Allow about thirty minutes for the Oriental Park of Maulévrier, the largest Japanese garden in Europe.
- On the coast, the beaches of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie take about 40 minutes by road.
- Le Marais Poitevin, nicknamed Green Venice, can be explored by boat, an hour’s drive away.

FAQ: unusual accommodation at Puy du Fou
Les hébergements insolites disposent-ils d’une douche ?
Non, nos 2 lodges insolites ne disposent pas de douche : ni la tente Lodge, ni le chalet Tithome. Vous utilisez les blocs sanitaires collectifs, ouverts jour et nuit. Le chalet Tithome garde toutefois un WC privatif et un évier d’eau froide en cuisine, pratique avec de jeunes enfants.
Quels draps prévoir pour une nuit insolite ?
Pour une nuit insolite, prévoyez vos draps : nous fournissons les oreillers, les couettes et les couvertures de chaque chambre, ainsi qu’un kit de bienvenue, mais pas le linge de lit. Notre offre de location comprend aussi des kits draps et du linge de toilette, à réserver de préférence avant votre arrivée.
Les animaux sont-ils acceptés dans la tente Lodge et le chalet Tithome ?
Non, les animaux ne sont pas acceptés dans la tente Lodge ni dans le chalet Tithome, comme dans l’ensemble de nos hébergements locatifs. Cette règle garantit l’hygiène et la tranquillité de chacun. Les chiens tenus en laisse restent en revanche les bienvenus sur les emplacements nus, avec votre propre tente.
À quelle heure peut-on s’installer dans son hébergement insolite ?
Vous vous installez dans votre hébergement insolite à partir de 15h le jour de l’arrivée. Le départ se fait entre 8h et 10h, avec une tolérance jusqu’à 12h quand personne ne prend le relais le jour même. En haute saison, un séjour démarre le lundi ou le samedi, à vous de choisir.
Quelle est la période d’ouverture des locations insolites ?
Nos lodges insolites peuvent vous accueillir du début avril à la fin septembre, ce qui couvre l’essentiel de la saison du parc. Un week-end de printemps reste possible, mais la tente Lodge et le chalet Tithome n’ont pas de chauffage.
