About this experience
"The Marais Poitevin, a natural setting to explore by bike!
Always associated with the boat and the pigouille, the Marais Poitevin is now revealed in a new light thanks to Original Vélo Tour. In 2017, I was keen to share my passion for this unique territory with you by offering you new bike rides.
Far from the beaten track, I will take you to discover the secrets of the Marais Poitevin. Over the kilometers, you will learn everything about the history of this vast marsh, its fragile and rich ecosystem, as well as the architectural heritage that characterizes it.
