Camping La Venise Verte is situated in a quiet spot on the Sèvre Niortaise river, some 1.5 km from the town of Coulon. You are genuinely camping on a location amidst the interesting Marais Poitevin natural area. There are a large number of navigable canals here. Pity to miss out on a boat trip here...

Camping amidst green

The campsite is wonderfully quiet and you can hear the birds from sunrise. The spacious pitches are laid out in rows on a lawn, along paved roads. There are a number of medium-sized deciduous trees that provide shade. Low vegetation and shrubs provide demarcation. Want to hire something? You can choose between a mobile home and a chalet.

Swimming and sunbathing

The swimming pool (open in peak season only) is eminently suitable for playing and cooling down. There is a toddler pool for the little ones. You will find some loungers here and there. Ideal for working on that tan. A fence surrounds the decorative tiles of the pool and a there is a lot of vegetation.

Cycling paradise

Children can play to their heart's content in the playground, at the table tennis tables, on the jeu de boules pitch and the beach volleyball field. In high season entertainment is offered including an excursion programme and guided walking tours. Bicycles (also routes) and canoes can be rented at the reception. From the campsite there are numerous cycling options.

Regional dishes

At the reception you can buy a few regional products as well as daily fresh bread. It is only a 7 km car ride to a supermarket. Don't feel like cooking? The campsite restaurant has a small menu and a bar with a terrace where you can enjoy delicious regional dishes.

Liked - A well run site in a beautiful location on the edge of a river - but that doesn’t do it full justice! The site itself is well set out among trees with decent size largely level grass pitches. The sanitary facilities are a little basic but clean with a good flow of hot water in the showers. There is a lovely restaurant on the site which we ate at both nights of our stay. The real magic is the location with stunning riverside walks and cycle rides for kilometres as well as boat rides and lovely bars, cafes and restaurants in the local town.
Disliked - Updating of sanitary facilities and, in particular, better lighting!
