"The Green Venice": an inner canal seen from a flatboat.Quay at the small town of Coulon.
The Marais Poitevin (pronounced[maʁɛpwatvɛ̃]) or Poitevin Marsh is a large area of marshland in the former province of Poitou in western France.
It is a remnant of what was the former Gulf of Poitou [fr]. The western zone near the sea (about two-thirds of the area) is called the "dry marsh" (or "dried marsh"). It is used for farming and livestock breeding. The eastern zone, called the "wet marsh", is a maze of islets crisscrossed by picturesque canals, primarily now a tourist destination for boating. It is nicknamed The Green Venice (la Venise Verte).[1]
