At the gateway to the Poitevin Marsh

The banks of the Sèvre are at the foot of the Hotel. On the other side, crossing the bridge, discover the site of the former Boinot tannery factories, which houses the Tourist Office and offers the start of a walking, cycling, and even river tour :

  • Canoe rental
  • Boat discovery of the navigable Sèvre and its canals
  • Trail Station

This site was transformed into a vast landscaped area a few years ago, marking the entrance to the Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park. It is also the starting point of the Green Corridor, a walking or cycling route that will take you to Coulon, at the gateway to the Poitevin Marsh.

If you have a car, it will take you just 15 minutes to reach the Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park, offering unique and timeless landscapes. Upon your arrival at the Hotel, feel free to inquire about the offers provided by our partners.
