½ day

Start from the little charming historical village of St-Urbain, formerly located on the edge of the Brittany Bay, before reaching the hedgerows in the heart of the Lower Vendée countryside. After a while, cycle through the wide plain of the marsh, a landscape of diverse fragrances, colours and nuances The guided visit of Rosalie’s house, a typical landmark of the Vendee marsh home, will take you back to the early 1900’s. Rosalie was an endearing character, in her traditional costume, who lived in very rustic conditions, and died there in 1971.

HAPPY BIKE RIDE “VELO SYMPA”

For a first time discovery

2 hours

Departure from the Vaulieu garden in Sallertaine. Your guide will take you along the former shores of the island of Sallertaine before reaching the heart of the marsh, what used to be the ocean. The environment is a surprising discovery and, while you cycle on a former dike, the panorama will reveal the beauty of the wind blowing through the soft brown rushes, the winding tree roots drowned and dried according to the seasons, the quietness and sweetness of a 1000-year old man-made landscape.

Further inland, traditional low houses recall the old 19C days. On the way back, cycling on the former shore on the edge of the woodland countryside, offers an interesting vantage point over the island of Sallertaine.
