The beautiful day in the footsteps of the monks builders - Hello, today is exciting. The explanations and descriptions are constant and varied, we learn many things: the history of the Marais Poitevin and the abbey of Maillezais (everything was done by monks!!!), animals and birds, with among others storks, plants, with for example hops. Visiting the craft brewery with tasting is a good time. The time of the picnic too, we feast. A nice day to do.

Discovery of an exceptional natural and cultural heritage - We had a great day as a team! The setting is exceptional. Navigating the canals in silence also allowed for moments of relaxation. Damien, the guide, is very competent and he passed on to us all his passion and his very fine knowledge of this rich and complex natural heritage that is the marsh of Chest.

Rich and friendly day - A 360° view of the Poitevin marsh: creation and history of the marsh and the Abbey of Maillezais, references to the history of France, botany, gastronomy... Damien, our guide, is inexhaustible on the subject. Beautiful day with a bucolic boat trip through the canals, a bike ride, a pleasant lunch to discover local products and a visit to a craft brewery. Perfect organization!
