Rich and friendly day - A 360° view of the Poitevin marsh: creation and history of the marsh and the Abbey of Maillezais, references to the history of France, botany, gastronomy... Damien, our guide, is inexhaustible on the subject. Beautiful day with a bucolic boat trip through the canals, a bike ride, a pleasant lunch to discover local products and a visit to a craft brewery. Perfect organization!
