Niort - Marais Poitevin

The “green Venice”? Come this way! We’ll be your guide through the maze-like canals of the Poitevin Marsh. You can borrow our bikes and ride to the Atlantic on the Vélo Francette cycle path. We’ll make gourmet stops along the way, picnicking on Vendée ham, chabichou du Poitou cheese, and angelica confit. Gazing up at the walls of the Donjon de Niort, it won’t just be the kids who feel small… Come nightfall, we’ll set the marsh’s waters alight to keep monsters and other diabolical creatures at bay…
