What to do if you are in the marsh - We took the bike ride of an hour and a half in the marsh of Poitevin. The course is nice and flat (my 2 children 9 and 7 years old had no trouble following). Damien, Guide passionate about his region, gave us many explanations about the marsh and its history. We had a great time with family!

Thanks Damien! - You have to love the story, but it was our case and we enjoyed it very much. The guide (necessarily the one you will have because it is his little box) has a real expertise on the marsh, it is very nice. And when it's hot, it's perfect because we're pretty much in the shade. To be combined with a visit to the marshes by boat (45 min is enough, even without a guide), because it is really different as an experience. Thanks Damien!

Great experience - Great orienteering on the occasion of a day of team cohesion. The search for places to photograph, the visit to the Brewery, the meal and the return trip won over all collaborators. Thanks again Damien!

A calm morning full of discoveries. - Very pleasant stroll without difficulty along the canals and the Sèvre Niortaise. The friendly guide taught us lots of things about the past and present of this atypical region. and to charm us, pretty little “maraichine” cows, oxpeckers, and a large bird that we usually see in another region of France. The place is off the beaten track and worth the detour.
