With 450km of waterways, the Marais Poitevin is a labyrinth of canals and a unique feature of the French landscape. Nicknamed ‘Green Venice’, the giant swampland is a natural paradise for birds, wildlife and fish, and attracts ornithologists, fishermen and restaurateurs seeking ingredients. In springtime, dozens of farmers put their cows out to pasture in the marshland, to spend several months grazing in this exceptional landscape.

The Marais Poitevin (Poitevin Marsh) is a large area of marshland in western France, a remnant of the former Gulf of Poitou (the name meaning Poitou's Marsh, Marsh of Poitou region). It consists for two thirds of a western zone near the sea called the dry marsh (or dried marsh), used for farming and breeding, and for one third of an eastern zone called the wet marsh, a maze of islets criss-crossed by picturesque canals now used for tourist rowboating and nicknamed The Green Venice (la Venise Verte).
With a surface area of 970 square kilometres (370 sq mi), it is the largest marsh on the Atlantic coast and the second largest of the whole country (after the Camargue). Extending across three departments (Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, and Charente-Maritime), it is situated west of Niort, north of La Rochelle, and south of Fontenay-le-Comte.
The area was declared a Regional Natural Park (Parc naturel régional) in 1979, but it lost that status in 1997 as intensive agricultural development around the Marsh meant the unique character of the region was endangered, leaving only a core Interregional Park (Parc Interrégional du Marais poitevin) of 185 square kilometres (71 sq mi). Attempts to get back the full Park label started in 2002, leading to a new chart being proposed in 2006; accepted by the local authorities, it was rejected in late 2008 by the government due to a perceived juridical fragility.
Tourism includes boating in traditional barques, which is a form of punting. There are several piers (embarcadères), from which boats can be hired. The myriad canals are covered in green duckweed (hence the Green Venice nickname) and the drained marsh land is home to a varied fauna.
The Marais Poitevin is also the most important area of angelica cultivation in France. **Source from wikipedia**

60 Seconds on the Poitevin Marsh in Coulon, France
The Poitevin Marsh (Marais Poitevin) is France’s second largest marsh and the biggest on the Atlantic coast. The marsh includes 1200 kilometres of canals, most of which are only accessible by small boats. Protected from development, animals and plants flourish in this picturesque green oasis. Deliciously quiet, the sun’s light filtering through the green leaves of the trees, a boat tour is the best way to explore the Poitevin Marsh.
Thanks to our guide, Guillaume, from Embarcadère Prada, for a beautiful morning on the water.

EDEN 2010 - The Grand Site du Marais Poitevin (France)
The Grand Site du Marais Poitevin is rightfully called the Green Venice of France. This labyrinth of waterways, lined with tall and dense vegetation, is worth visiting as it is the largest wooded marshland on the Atlantic coast (49,000 hectares) and it has one of the richest natural habitats in France. The magical beauty of the area has been captured in numerous artistic representations.
