Sports and leisure activities Le Perrier

At Le Perrier, you're in the heart of the Marais, the Breton-Vendée marshland. What is a yole? It's the local name for a flat-bottomed boat. It was used by the inhabitants of the marsh to get around. A true "vehicle" of the marsh, the yawl met the multiple travel needs associated with the economic life of the Maraîchins, family travel (supplies, schooling), and religious practice. In July and August, Deambul offers yawl and horse-drawn carriage rides (from July 12). Take a seat aboard a yole, a small flat-bottomed boat, for an original ride through the heart of the Marais Vendéen, on the Grand Canal du Perrier. Using a ningle, a large wooden pole, the "yoleur" will guide you through the Grande Taillée estuary and reveal its secrets. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you float along, admiring the typical marsh landscape. A true immersion in the marshes of yesterday and today. Discover the flora and fauna of this sensitive area. The yawl trip lasts 30 minutes. In summer, you can also discover the marsh "at dusk": get on board before nightfall for a soothing ride to the Pont Angelier estuary. An exhibition and festive evenings (free of charge) punctuate Tuesdays during the summer season. You can also complement your visit with a horse-drawn carriage ride. Let yourself be lulled by the horse's footsteps. The combined yawl and carriage ride lasts 1h30.
