https://maps.app.goo.gl/RggbW911DEZ9SVos5 Marans maybe doesn’t sit directly on the Velodyssee route— but it pulls you visiting the charming calm and cozy village...and especially THIS café. Elodie knows what bikepacker needs. Cyclists more than welcome here: bikes rest easy, bellies get happy. Elodie asked directly for free water to refill bike bottles, WiFi, charging of phone, laptop etc. A must-stop gem right in the village core 🚴♀️☕️💛 good café, shakes with different milks, fresh sandwiches, toasts, local sweets

The Jean Guilloux chain ferry allows you to cross the Sèvre Niortaise River from Saint Jean de Liversay (Charente-Maritime) to Vix (Vendée). It is free to access and is operated manually. The chain ferry can be used independently by pedestrians and cycle tourists, with a maximum of 6 people per crossing. Cyclists' bicycles may be taken on board the ferry. Operating and safety regulations are posted on each bank. This type of boat was once a common means of crossing canals and channels in the Marais Poitevin. Free access is limited to 6 people or a maximum weight of 450 kg. Pets are allowed. Accessibility dates are from April 5 to October 31, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The acquisition of the "Jean Guilloux" chain ferry was made possible thanks in part to the support of the European Union.
