    • ORIGINAL BIKE TOUR, A GROUP DISCOVERY DAY OF THE MARAIS POITEVIN AND ITS ABBEYES DEPARTURE FROM MAILLEZAIS

      Every Tuesday and Friday between April 1 and September 30, take advantage of a day in the Marais Poitevin, between La Rochelle, Niort and Fontenay-Le-Comte, to discover Maillezais and its canals.

      The route starts at the abbey car park, to get to the heart of the matter with Damien, the guide who accompanies you throughout the walk. Start by sailing for an hour along the water on a traditional boat, before visiting one of the founding abbeys of the Marais Poitevin. Then, get on your bikes for 15 km of route towards the charming village of Maillé. After the effort, comfort. Enjoy a picnic of local products before visiting the village and its heritage.

      At the end of the day, you will be rewarded with a visit to a craft brewery with an abbey beer tasting. With family, friends, colleagues, quickly book this day trip accessible to all levels.

    A man passionated about nature and eager to share his knowledge with his customers by offering bike trips in the "Green Venice" (Marais Poitevin). Outing activities are feasible with family or group. Very serious and very good value for money. A good way to discover the region in eco-friendly mobility (comfortable bikes). Highly recommended

    The route is pleasant and Damien full of humor and stories to tell us about the marshes. I had a great time. When it comes to reservations and availability, there's nothing to say, it's perfect.
