Embarcadere de la Maison du marais

At the northern tip of the Marais Poitevin, a natural site unique in Europe, discover France's 2nd wetland after the Camargue, historically rich in all kinds of river developments.


Take your boat from the Maison du Marais and explore the dried-up part of the marsh, opening your eyes wide to discover the characteristic flora and fauna of the Marais Poitevin. On your way, learn to recognise the iris and the pyramidal orchid, and catch a glimpse of swans, storks, herons and coypu... Discover the secrets of this nature between land and water, thanks to the information panels set out along this 3km route.

For over 35 years, the commune of Longeville-sur-mer has been offering you an opportunity to learn about and enjoy the Marais Poitevin, while preserving the wonders of nature.
