グランゼイ・グリプト周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ11

Exploring the Marais Poitevin from the village of Magné offers a unique chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of France's 'Green Venice'. As you wander through the lush marshland, you'll pass charming cottages and old stone bridges, surrounded by peaceful willow trees

A vestige of a prehistoric forest, the Chizé forest extends over more than 3,000 hectares. Very popular with hikers and cyclists, it is crossed by the GR36 and the GR de Pays de la sylve d'Argenson. Mainly made up of beech trees, it is also home to numerous oak trees, including the Emperor's oak tree. More than 250 years old, it measures 27 meters high. Natura 2000 Zone and Natural Area of Ecological Fauna and Flora Interest, the forest is home to numerous mammals, reptiles, birds, butterflies and amphibians.

On the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise, in the heart of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, stands a keep with twin towers. Formerly surrounded by an enclosure of approximately 700 square meters, it is today located in the city center of Niort, a stone's throw from the very beautiful Halles, designed by Eiffel. The keep, built between the 12th and 13th century, has had several functions. A military fortress, it was also a prison and finally a museum. In 1840, it became the first building in Niort to be classified as a Historic Monument.

Magné Elvis Bridge

An evening round after the hard work shot 12km in 2h in wonderful weather in short clothes and sandals. The historical buildings, the watercourses and the variety inspired me!

This attractive metal structure bridge dates from 1901. It rises so as to let the boats pass which, in the past, took the river to Marans to transport foodstuffs.

typical village with houses and constructions which go down towards the river below.

The Chizé forest, a Natura 2000 site, is part of the much larger Aulnay-Chizé massif. It is a great place to run in the forest and take a forest bath.
