    With our group of seniors on a Pentecost weekend in the Marais Poitevin, we thoroughly enjoyed this morning exploring the small roads and paths around the Marais Poitevin by bike, organized by Damien. His commentary on the history and flora of the marsh was very interesting. We finished with a delicious picnic of specialties with Damien.

    Hello, This is a day and a guide that will remain etched in our memories. Due to a summer event, Damien had to adapt our "In the Footsteps of Monk Builders" outing. The morning was devoted to a boat trip. For two hours, we were treated to a detailed description of the constructions of the Poitevin Marshes, punctuated with juicy details and anecdotes. During the break, Damien had prepared a Vendée picnic for us, rich in delicious and generous local specialties. In the afternoon, we hopped on the colorful "Original Vélo Tour" bikes for a ride between Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, and Charente-Maritime. We crossed a waterway on a chain ferry. The day passed in a friendly, sunny atmosphere, and full of discoveries, even though we are from Vendée. We highly recommend the guide Damien and his services.

    A big thank you to Damien! We had an unforgettable time thanks to your performance. The walk was both informative, humorous, and friendly. Your passionate commentary and your excellent knowledge of the area and the history of the Poitevin Marshes made this experience unique. Thank you for your warm welcome and your good humor. We highly recommend this outing to anyone who wants to discover the region in a different way! Sandrine and Thierry
