Coulon, population 2,249, elected capital of Venise Verte, is the most famous entrance to the Marais. Situated less than 10 km from Niort, this picturesque little town of character is inundated with visitors from April onwards. Stroll along the narrow streets in search of the Trinité church or the Place de la Coutume, where you'll find the tourist office, Maison du Marais Poitevin and landing stages. And don't forget to take advantage of guided bike tours, canoeing and kayaking, the Petit Train du Marais (1h, Place de l'Eglise), the towpaths and local produce shopping. The Marché gourmand festival is held at the end of August.
