Long comment

The Maison du Marais Poitevin is in the centre of Coulon on the banks of the river Sèvre. There are three permanent exhibition rooms and a room with temporary exhibitions. Each room shows a particular theme of the Marais: the interior of a typical house of the inhabitants of the Marais, the life of the eel – which is the emblematic fish of the Marais, the boat room, which shows the construction of the flat-bottomed boats typically used in the Marais, and the Maraiscope – a 15 minute film showing the historical construction of the Marais Poitevin and its activities. A guide is available and will answer any questions you may have. An opportunity not to be missed, enabling you to understand the life and history of the Marais Poitevin.
