Damvix
Situated in the south of the Vendée on the Marais Poitevin where the adjoining departments of Deux Sèvres and the Charente Maritime all meet, Damvix is on the river Sèvre Niortaise in the beautiful Green Venice
region of the Marais Poitevin. This attractive village attracts
thousands of visitors annually who come to discover the many secrets and
pleasures to be found here, whether it is a quiet walk along the many
well marked trails, a trip in one of the various forms of boats that can
be hired from the waterfront, fishing or just sitting and taking in the
delights before them. With such a picturesque landscape you will see
why artists often are attracted here.
There are several restaurants in the village and you can even take a leisurely dinner cruise along the river Sèvre Niortaise in a special floating restaurant that leaves from just under the bridge. It is essential to book as this is a very popular attraction.
