The venue
Boat trip through the “Green Venice”, among canals and lush vegetation. Coulon, in the Deux-Sèvres department, is the capital of this eastern part of the Marais Poitevin, known as the wet marsh. The marsh is the second-largest wetland in France after the Camargue.
Coulon is the main starting point for trips in traditional flat-bottomed boats, the “batais”, along the narrow channels. Developed from the 11th century, the marsh is criss-crossed by thousands of kilometres of ditches and canals, lined with trees planted to hold the banks. The Green Venice has held the Grand Site de France label since 2010.
