Meeting other expats in the Vendee department

[sclarke2208]

Are there any social clubs/associations for English speaking people in the Vendee department? I am coming down for  a visit in April with a view to making a permanent move in the future. I am 69 years young, female and would like to make friends with similar people whether they are married, single or whatever. When I first moved to France in 2007 I made lots of contacts via this forum, some of whom I still keep in touch with. I'd like to replicate that in my next move.

I would be grateful for any information. I see that the Deux Sevres have their own monthly newspaper, is there such a thing in the Vendee?

Thanks

Sandra
