Saint-Jean Marais Side

Unusual walks

The Vendée marsh reveals its enchanting landscapes through bike rides, where each pedal stroke is an immersion in a preserved setting.

With the Landscapes Cycling Tour, explore the canals, wet meadows, and vast wilderness areas where herons and storks roam. To gain some height, head to Kulmino, a panoramic tower offering a spectacular view 70 meters above the marsh.

Finally, explore the Porteau Fisheries, these fishing huts on stilts that tell the story of the history and traditions of the Vendée coast.

The Salt Route

Let yourself be carried away by the peaceful rhythm of paddling and discover the marshland in a different way by taking the Salt Route by canoe.

Along the canals winding through the reeds, you'll glide into a world where the silence is broken only by the song of birds.

An immersive adventure that transports you to the heart of the typical Vendée marshland landscapes, between the silvery sparkles of the water and shades of deep green.

A unique experience, to be enjoyed with family or friends, for a special encounter with this unspoiled nature.

A land of tradition

The Vendée marsh is also a living place where ancestral know-how is perpetuated.

In Sallertaine, a village of artisans, step through the doors of the workshops and discover the talent of the potters, glassblowers, and painters, inspired by this unique environment.

A little further on, Le Daviaud, an eco-museum in the heart of the marsh, brings the traditions of yesteryear back to life: thatched cottages, period costumes, and demonstrations of forgotten techniques immerse visitors in another era.

A journey through time, between memory and authenticity.
