Ancais in the Marais


We also had a day or so exploring the “Venise Verte“ area near Niort. This is a marshy area full of very small canal systems, walkways and bike paths created in the middle ages in times of religious troubles when refugees fled into the marshy areas to avoid persecution. The weather was quite kind and we had a good time on our hired bikes exploring a few of the small villages.
