Motorhome area of Coulon (Deux Sèvres)

Welcome to Coulon, the capital of the Green Venice! This charming village, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, is the ideal gateway to the Marais Poitevin – a unique maze of canals, green corridors, and peaceful landscapes. Whether by foot, bike or traditional flat-bottomed boat, the marais invites you to explore its rich ecosystem. Don’t miss the Marais Poitevin House, a fun and educational interpretation center. Coulon’s charm also lies in its traditional architecture: flowered alleys, white facades, and stone bridges. In summer, the quays come alive with markets, flea fairs and local festivities. Just 15 km away, Niort offers a lively historic center, a medieval dungeon, and a covered market full of local flavors. You’re also close to wild marshes, Romanesque abbeys, and even the Atlantic coast (1 h drive).
