EMBARCADERE DES CAPUCINES

MAILLE

At the dawning of the Middle Ages, builder monks created in the Marais Poitevin (Poitou Marshes) an area of huge economic, ecological and historical importance.

Today, this landscape with its thousands of waterways throbs to the rhythm of the many vessels which criss-cross the marshlands as they transport visitors into an enchanting natural world. Dozens of embarkation points can be found in traditional villages from where visitors can set out in canoes or small boats, some with electric motors, on guided or unescorted tours through the 37,000 hectares of wetlands. Head down to the jetty for information and then leave dry land behind to really appreciate the magic of the marshes, where trees and water reign in perfect harmony.
