Visiting the Marais Poitevin
Designated a Regional Nature Park and a Grand Site de France, the Marais Poitevin invites you to discover its thousands of canals, charming villages and exceptional heritage.
This is the must-do activity in the Marais Poitevin! Climb aboard a traditional flat-bottomed boat for a relaxing trip through the lush greenery of the marshes. There are several options open to you:
Hire a boat and explore the Marais Poitevin on your own
Take part in a guided tour led by a boatman.
Unusual: You can also discover the Marais Poitevin by kayak from the Lidon water sports centre!
Nieul-sur-l'Autise, Fontenay-le-Comte, Arçais, Coulon and Marans will charm you with their Renaissance and medieval heritage. They offer a lively historic centre full of shops and restaurants, and some have pleasant canals for a bucolic atmosphere.
The Marais Poitevin is home to over 330 species of birds and around fifty species of aquatic and terrestrial mammals. These include the soulcie sparrow, the short-eared owl, the European otter and the aquatic shrew.
