Embarcadère de la Venise Verte
A boat or canoe trip in the Marais Poitevin... Come and discover the Venise verte... Relaxation and a change of scenery guaranteed. Booking recommended!
Venise Verte landing stage:There's only one way to really discover the Marais Poitevin: by traditional boat, with or without a guide!
Away from the tourist hotspots, take advantage of a part of the Marais Poitevin that's still calm and wild on a boat trip with or without a boatman, canoe, paddle or bike. You'll discover the authenticity of the landscape, the richness of its flora and fauna, and the magic of "fire on water".
Comfortably seated on a bench, aboard a "plate", led by a guide-atelier, with the help of a "Pigouille", you let yourself glide along the water in this maze of shaded conches (canals).
It's a very special, gentle atmosphere, a moment of pure pleasure.
We'll give you a warm welcome when you visit, and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Right next to the pier, the Au Bord de l'Eau restaurant welcomes you: with your feet in the grass, discover the local products of the marsh!
See you soon
