For example, here is a interview done by the Tourism Committee of Deux-Sèvres with an English couple who were staying at Camping la Venise Verte:

A 2CV, a tent, bicycles and verdant surroundings would be paradise for this English couple who spent a few nights at Camping la Venise Verte in Coulon. Following in the footsteps of Kevin Rusby, they testify to a holiday that was "so green"...

"What was the key factor that made you visit the Marais Poitevin ?"

"It was the description of the peaceful atmosphere of the Venise Verte and of an unspoilt rural way of life and on top of that, we had never visited this region. It is a great discovery with beautiful cycle paths, canoeing and camping – it ‘s Paradise !"

"What are your first impressions of the Marais ?"

"Pretty little villages, luscious pastureland with beautiful ash trees, marvellous wild life particularly a huge variety of birds. It is ideal for walks, cycle rides and canoeing.
Coulon is a charming village, relatively unspoilt in spite of the tourists. Finally camping at La Venise Verte is a real pleasure. It is well maintained, very peaceful, and you can get to Coulon easily by bike."

"How long did you spend in the Marais Poitevin ?"

"Unfortunately we only spent 2 nights. We were actually staying in Bordeaux for a national rally of 2CV owners and le Marais Poitevin was on the road home….
An article in The Guardian made us decide to stop on the way and it is quite idyllic."

"What did you actually do ?"

"We had brought our bicycles, we didn’t have time to try out the boats, but it looked magnificent …. We would have done it if we had had more time !"

"Your favourite thing ?"

"The peacefulness, green fields as far as the eye can see, the calm of the waterways, canals and cycle paths. John saw a coypu for the first time, and he thought it was enormous rat, but discovered that it was a coypu that came from America, that it is vegetarian and only lives on river banks – it was a superb moment !"
