Maison du Marais poitevin

The Maison du Marais Poitevin functions as a central visitor center with exhibits, displaying informative panels about the marshland region through permanent collections and temporary exhibitions.

The medieval residence from the 15th century transformed into a museum presents the evolution of the Marais Poitevin landscapes through detailed reconstructions and exhibits.

The center features the Maraiscope, a 15-square-meter model that demonstrates the formation of the Marais Poitevin while explaining traditional activities like boat building and fishing.

Visitors can access the facility daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours requiring advance reservations for groups of minimum 15 adults.

The exhibition space includes an interactive projection system that explains the canal network formation, followed by discussions with facilitators who enhance visitor understanding.
