Tips

Cycling

The gates are dikes, functioning as locks, in order to control the amount of water that is in the marsh, so as not to suffer from fluctuations associated with high and low tides.

This traditional lock controls the confluence of the old canal with the Bourdeau canal, along the Vélodyssée (EV1), which is also a Vendée cycle path. The gates function as locks on the dikes, in order to control the quantity of water in the marsh, so as not to suffer fluctuations linked to high and low tides. These hydraulic works are essential for the drainage of the marsh and agriculture.

the hydraulic structures bear witness to man's work on draining the marsh.
