Take the time to get together, with family or friends, to rest and enjoy the summer without going very far…. We list 5 (very) good reasons to stay in Aunis Marais Poitevin this summer!

1.Far from the crowds gathered on the beaches, we enjoy our natural and rural setting for a breath of fresh air! Vast spaces, omnipresent nature: benon forest to the peaceful ponds of Marais Madame at la Grève sur Mignon, we immerse ourselves in the gentle and peaceful atmosphere of Aunis Marais Poitevin. Whether it's playing with family or picnicking by the water, there are plenty of “natural” nooks and crannies! Do you know, for example, the Pré Bègue and its imposing three-hundred-year-old oak in the town of Saint Pierre la Noue, which invites you to take a bucolic break?

2.A summer where it is also possible to multiply the activities without expense ! Whether it be bike ou hiking, our Aunisian countryside is full of walking ideas for everyone. Beautiful loops to do around Surgères, cycle routes on the Marais Poitevin side… there’s something for everyone! For fishing enthusiasts, why not also catch fish in one of the many fishing spots ?

3.We rediscover our villages and their stories, like that of Vouhé, where the inhabitants open their gardens for a visit along the water... or even the dramatized visits to the Paroles de Gargouille in Surgères! But also the artisans et local a stone's throw from home, including some show off their activity.

4.Summer brings its share of events to this lively territory! A rich cultural program with numerous festivals and concerts: Surgeres Brass Festival, Sites en Scène, the Night of the Stars… as well as numerous entertainments and shows such as those of the Legends of the past.

5.We taste our good local products in small summer restaurants: eat mussels with the Ponetère in Charron, enjoy a fisherman's plate at the end of the Port in Marans... or even a good farm ice cream in the Ice Farm in Surgères! Before going dancing at the water's edge, in one of our taverns in Surgeres ou The Strike on Mignon. A summer that promises to be delicious… and full of music!

Without, of course, counting all those moments when we rekindle the world with the neighbor next door, an espresso in the sun on the terrace of the local café... and all those little things that make us so attached to our villages and our countryside where life is good. So we'll let you continue this list with your favorites and memories, and wish you a great summer in Aunis Marais Poitevin!
