    We spent two wonderful hours exploring the marsh. Damien is passionate and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge in a wide variety of areas. I recommend this bike ride (which is also extremely accessible) to everyone!

    A wonderful family experience! The bike ride through the Green Venice was magnificent, punctuated by Damien's fascinating explanations about the history and ecosystem of the Poitevin marsh. Very comfortable bikes, friendly atmosphere, and even our 5 and a half year old son loved it! Thank you Damien for this great time!
