Coulon

Opened to the public in the late 1980s, the house of the Marais poitevin takes place in the former residence of collectors of customary law of the fourteenth century. The building now houses an expanded ecomuseum in the mid-1990s. There are permanent and temporary exhibitions around Maraischine life from the 19th century to the present day through inland navigation, eel fishing, Maraiscope or the typical interior of a maraischine house. The old manor house, very old, still features original features such as a dovecote or Renaissance window.

Numerous times rebuilt, the church of the Holy Trinity dates back to the beginning of the ninth century. Used as a hay barn during the French Revolution, it was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. The building is equipped with a watchtower and has been listed in the Historic Monuments.
