Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cette maison spacieuse au bord du canal. Le village est joli, l’embarcadère pour les locations de barque est juste à côté, on peut également y louer des vélos.

Gîte bien conçu et parc très agréable, surtout en temps de canicule.
Venus découvrir et faire du vélo , nous avons été très très déçus par le manque d'informations sur les pistes praticables et réelles : certaines se terminent en rien du tout ou en bief et ornières . Heureusement , barques, oiseaux, églises sont venus occuper nos loisirs en plus du pédalage. Nous allons faire remonter notre mécontentement qui ne concerne que les chemins et panneaux routiers de cette belle région.

Nous avons passé un superbe week-end, le gîte est très confortable, très bien équipé, tout est parfait pour une famille avec des enfants de tout âge.
Parfaitement situé pour découvrir le marais poitevin, avec les barques et location de vélos juste à côté.
Accueil très sympathique des hôtes.
Nous recommandons !

Great Stay
The house is large and reasonably cool thanks to thick walls. The garden is also large with many trees so you can sit in or out of the sun. The house has all the amenities you can think of. Its central location in the Marais makes it a good base for excursions in the area. La Rochelle is only a 45-minute drive away. Nantes and Poitiers are also within reach. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We had a great time at this location.
