Far from the crowds, enjoy the pleasure of a country picnic with your family in our favorite places.
In the Benon forest, the place is inspiring and enchanting! Located around thirty kilometers from La Rochelle, it is accessible all year round and offers two marked walking routes, the opportunity to take a good walk to digest after lunch. In the shade of large deciduous trees, the atmosphere is gentle when it is hot and several tables allow you to sit among the trees. For the adventurers, a few branches on the ground will allow you to build your nature observation cabin.
In the town of Saint Pierre la Noue, the Pré Bègue and its imposing 300-year-old oak invite you to a bucolic break. A large playground allows children to have fun while older children get back into shape with the nearby sports equipment. And for a family walk, follow the forest path along the Gères which joins the village town.
In the heart of the Marais Poitevin, head to the ponds of the Marais Madame at la Grève sur Mignon! The place is well known to trout fishermen who like to go there to enjoy the calm surroundings. Don't forget your beautiful checkered tablecloth or your folding chairs for a picnic in the great outdoors! Tranquility and tranquility await you there.
Need to take a break on the Vélofrancette route or simply enjoy the calm surroundings, near the island of Charroin, set up your picnic table at Combrand. This spot is ideal because it is quiet, shady, at the water's edge! All the charm of the Marais Poitevin for a lunch or snack break. After your break or before leaving, take the time to discover the protected natural area of Charrouin Island, located between the Sèvre Niortaise and the small canals of the wet marsh.
Our little tip : Take your binoculars, you never know what bird might be hiding in this natural setting!
Finally, on the Aigrefeuille d'Aunis side, we of course find Lac de Frace! A peaceful site where picnic tables offer a relaxing break by the water. As a family, you will also be able to enjoy the small miniature harbor boats in high season!
