マレ・ポイテビンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

Through the largest swamp in Europe and to this inner port. Witness to a bygone trade.

This lighthouse replaces the old one which was destroyed by German soldiers in 1944. Six years later it was rebuilt and here is the result. It has a slightly art deco look and is pleasing to the eye.

This beach is large, sandy and wide. It is the perfect place to go for a hike or just to rest and relax.
