    A day out for 6 adults and 5 children following in the footsteps of the monks who built the marshes. We set off by boat, exploring the history of the marshes along the water, followed by a visit to the abbey, a tour of a brewery, and other magnificent places steeped in history! Damien, our guide for the day, captivated us with his explanations. This outing was perfect for our family, from 9 months to 72 years old! If you're ever in the area, this tour with Damien is a must! The meal was delicious! As you can tell, we highly recommend this tour with Damien! A big thank you for this wonderful day!

    A lovely afternoon spent with Damien, our cycling tour guide. We appreciated his warm welcome and his knowledge of the history of the Marais Poitevin and the surrounding countryside. A delightful family outing in beautiful natural surroundings. We'll be back with others to try the other tour options offered. Thanks again!
