Owner's Message
Powerful fortress, Romanesque abbey then Gothic cathedral, Maillezais shone for centuries on religious, economic and artistic levels.
Overlooking the canals dug by the monks to dry out the Gulf of Pictons, Maillezais rises on an island overlooking the Marais Poitevin, a splendid natural environment unique in France.

Da Hunde verständlicher Weise auf dem Abtei-Gelände nicht erlaubt sind, haben wir uns dann das Dorf angesehen.
Ein Mülleimer auf dem Parkplatz wäre noch schön. Vermutlich will man vermeiden das die Camper ihren ganzen Mist dalassen aber man möchte ja auch nicht, dass man den Hundekot einfach liegen lässt. Ich hab dann irgendwann im Dorf mal was gefunden.
La visite est vraiment intéressante
