Today you can go on their trail, by boat, to explore this stunning landscape, entirely designed by men.

Old Port: A whole area entirely pedestrian, stroll to the ruins of the Abbey, or enjoy a specialty on the terrace of a restaurant from watching the boats. Also one of the best starting points for you "lose" a few hours by boat or canoe in such incomparable. A pier labeled "Quality Commitment" by the Interregional du Marais Poitevin Park, guaranteeing high quality service and training for boatmen. Fun!
