3. Les Canoes du Marais
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 75 reviews
A great experience, face to face with nature!!!! Leaving from Givrand, you will paddle with your family or your friends on a calm river without flow, accessible to everyone! The ride will lead you throught various typical landscapes within a protect area (Natura 2000). You will sail in the heart of the marsh, crossing Forests and dunes. You will also have the opportunity to explore the city of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. We offer some excursion form one to four hours and overnight excursions in July and August.

We hired a canoe for myself, my husband and our two girls and a kayak for our daughter and we all loved it. There is a two hour route or a one hour version, we chose the two hour and really enjoyed it. The equipment is well maintained and the river is quiet and calm making it perfect for visitors with younger children. Really good value for money.

Reviewed By Brian H - Chorley, United Kingdom
A brilliant 2 hours of fun....Cost 26 euros for three of us...It does take a bit of effort but you don't have to be tour de France standard to go quick.....
Once you get half way the cars get turned using a clock rotation on the actual track.So , as its the same track in reverse,you can only proceed once the last car has got to this point....
Its easier on the return journey as there is a little decline...There are also a series of barriers to lift ,as the journey passes through normal roads with traffic....(very funny)..
.Make sure you take your camera as there are some cracking photo opportunities.....
5. Musee Charles Milcendeau
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
Reviewed By Loiseau - UK
Charles Milcendeau was born in neighbouring Soullans and studied art in Paris in the late 19th century. Here, in his former home, you can admire a large collection of his marvellously atmospheric paintings which evoke the marshland that you see all around you, and the rugged peasant families who lived there in his time.
In the second little house you are in for an extraordinary treat - the walls of his former studio are entirely covered with decorative painting that Milcendeau made to lift his spirits from the damp marshy landscape and to remind him of the Sunshine of Spain.
Not to be missed!

You then have access to ropes courses under the supervision of our trained operators.
Reviewed By SuttonCTravellers - Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom
This place would be worthy of 4 or 5 stars if it wasn’t for the absolutely dreadful food service offered. The ropes courses were very good and the 2 members of our family who did them enjoyed them a lot. The rest of us stayed...MoreHello ! Thank you for taking time to leave your opinion on our park. Your remarks concerning the snack were brought back to the direction. We're sorry.

A nice small beach where families gather. Lots of small children play in the shallows as older ones dive from the platform placed offshore every summer (removed on Oct. 1). Well-guarded with daily flags for safety and water temperature. Also, a large enclosed pool of salt water (refreshed with every tide change) where both children and adults enjoy protected swims.
9. Chapelle des Mineurs

Reviewed By PJLOUDUN - LOUDUN
La direction des mines souhaitant développer la moralisation chrétienne de ses ouvriers à fait construire cette chapelle qui a été inaugurée en 1876, le jour de la sainte Barbe patronne des mineurs. Sa particularité réside dans le fait que ses 18 verrières en verres blancs en été remplacées, en 2001, par des vitraux dont les thèmes sont la mine, la vie du mineur, sa famille. C'est l'œuvre de Carmelo Zagari dont certains membres de sa famille ont été mineur. Il faut prendre le temps d'admirer chaque vitrail pour comprendre ce qu'il représente Il faut également admirer la voute de cette chapelle et la rosace au dessus de la porte d'entrée

Reviewed By Matt D - Essex, United Kingdom
Absolutely brilliant place for kids. Our boys loved it!
Loads of bouncy Castles, some massive ones that are really high, very impressive.
There is also a small train ride which they run every 20 mins when the bell rings, this was very popular.
You only pay for the kids, adults and babies are free, and it was only EUR 8 for each child for as long as you want to stay.
Also you're ok to take a picnic in or get good there.
Overall an excellent day which the boys loved!
