Overview

Since 2017, I have been the only bike guide in the Marais Poitevin. Since 2018, I have also created packages linking traditional boat and accompanied bike.
In 2023, I created this new product Discovery Day in the footsteps of the Monks Builders linking a 1 hour boat ride along the water, before walking on the ruins of the Maillezais Abbey. Then we will ride the bikes towards the maraichin village of Maillé where we will have lunch on the port. We will end with a visit to a craft brewery with tasting of abbey beer.
Do not look, I am the only one to offer this type of product.
