Julien, our guide, gives us a safety briefing: \u201cKayaking is above-all about holding your paddle correctly and controlling the rotating movement from the waist\u201d. Then we head into the waters to put it into practice. And we set off for an enjoyable 8-km outing, <strong>exploring<\/strong> the maze of wild marshland.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Kayaking is the ideal way to explore the Marais Poitevin<\/h2>\n<p>The marshland is a peaceful environment, making it the perfect place for this activity. You can experience the joys of gliding along the waters, splashing each other as you paddle. It is a fun and refreshing activity. In a <strong>kayak<\/strong>, it\u2019s possible to go much further into the marshland than on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/visite\/a-day-in-boat\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>rowing boat<\/strong><\/a>, as you can access the narrow passages that are shallower and overgrown with vegetation. It is also possible to go faster and we are completely independent and responsible for our own <strong>kayak<\/strong>. This eco-friendly way of exploring the <strong>Marais poitevin<\/strong>\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/discovery\/discover-green-venice-poitevin-marsh\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Green Venice<\/strong><\/a>\u201d is also an invitation to embark upon an<strong> adventure<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>As the sun goes down, the orange shades reflect through the many pollarded ash trees along the water\u2019s edge. It\u2019s difficult to see where the shades of green begin and end, and we feel completely at peace in this little Amazon rainforest of the Vend\u00e9e. The cows venture over from their pastures to drink from the canals, and observe us. The mischievious mosquitoes take advantage of this break to get up close and personal with us, without being too invasive because in this balanced ecosystem, mosquitoes also have their own predators and the water is not stagnant.<\/p>\n<p>Julien explains that to be able to find your way around the green maze, there are markers along the waterways to define the various sectors, but if you are not used to it, a map and compass might be useful to venture beyond the main waterways. We cross paths with a guided boat trip near <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niortmaraispoitevin.com\/en\/circuits-et-randonnees\/st-hilaire-la-palud-a-la-decouverte-du-marais-sauvage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud<\/strong><\/a>, before heading into the narrower waterways, that are less crowded and cannot be accessed by the rowing boats.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3459881\" style=\"width: 1322px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3459881\" class=\"wp-image-3459881\" title=\"Kayak excursion in the Marais poitevin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kayak excursion in the Marais poitevin\" width=\"1312\" height=\"737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux12-825x464.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1312px) 100vw, 1312px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3459881\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kayak excursion in the Marais poitevin.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Take the time to explore and really listen to the marshland<\/h2>\n<p>In the middle of our exploration, Julien gives us the opportunity to see what it feels like to just let ourselves drift along. So I put my paddle away inside the <strong>kayak<\/strong>, I listen to the sound of the water and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/fauna-flora\/observe-birds-poitevin-marsh\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>birds<\/strong><\/a>, I watch the little insects on the water and then close my eyes and just feel the fresh air on my skin, the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind&#8230; It\u2019s a moment to just let go, let the rippling waters carry you along peacefully, and live for the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>Then we get back to our exploration. As I paddle along, I catch a glimpse of a <strong>heron<\/strong> and some <strong>coypu<\/strong> crossing quickly in front of us. When I ask our guide what coypu tastes like, he replies \u201cyou\u2019ll see later when we have our evening nibbles\u201d!\u00a0 Julien is a guide who is used to survival expeditions in the Arctic and he had some pretty impressive stories to tell us, about bears stealing food from their camp and even a walrus attack on a kayak in the Great North&#8230; Our guide is experienced in adventures in the great outdoors and is convinced that this kind of outing in the marshland will make visitors want to go further in their explorations, into the Regional Nature Park and beyond. The adventure begins here.<\/p>\n<h2>The Marais pPoitevin, the perfect place for a microadventure!<\/h2>\n<p>We explore an even wilder area where the waters are very shallow and the branches are low lying. We sometimes even have to duck right down as we paddle, to get through. Not many people have passed through here before us. We feel as though we\u2019ve made a wrong turn, the multitude of waterways have literally led us into the middle of nowhere, to my utter delight. It\u2019s almost a luxury to dare to go off the beaten track, and just enjoy it. This is when our microadventure takes on its true meaning. Further along, we find ourselves in a passage that leads us along winding waterways that look as if they\u2019ve come out of a fairy-tale. If I caught a glimpse of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Melusine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>legendary Melusine<\/strong><\/a> hiding behind a tree, I\u2019m not even sure I\u2019d be surprised&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3459877\" style=\"width: 1322px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3459877\" class=\"wp-image-3459877\" title=\"Guided kayak trip in the heart of the Marais poitevin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Guided kayak trip in the heart of the Marais poitevin\" width=\"1312\" height=\"737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux9-825x464.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1312px) 100vw, 1312px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3459877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guided kayak trip in the heart of the Marais poitevin.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3459879 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/DelBerlioux15-825x464.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The sun begins to set.
