La Manade
In Beaugeay, at the gateway to the Brouage Marshes in Charente-Maritime, La Manade invites you to experience an authentic adventure in the heart of a protected environment.
Here, nature reigns supreme: wetlands, reedbeds, tamarisk trees, and vast wild expanses create an exceptionally rich landscape.
The Brouage Marshes, a Natura 2000 site, are renowned for their remarkable ecological heritage.
A true ornithological paradise, they are home to a wide variety of species, including herons, egrets, and storks.
Observing this wildlife in its natural habitat is a rare privilege, made possible by gentle and respectful methods of exploration.
Discover this preserved natural environment just 40 minutes from your holiday cottage in Surgères!
La Manade was born from a deep connection to the marsh and its biodiversity.
Each excursion is designed to preserve this fragile environment while offering you a unique immersion, far from the crowds and in a friendly atmosphere.
As breeders of Camargue horses and lovers of these landscapes, the team shares its history, passion, and commitment to respectful exploration of the area.
From spring to autumn, La Manade offers walks to suit all tastes:
These excursions wind through the marshland, across wet meadows and open landscapes, in a setting conducive to relaxation and contemplation.
Exploring the Brouage Marsh in a different way means choosing a gentle and respectful approach to a unique natural site.
Each walk becomes a poetic interlude, punctuated by the sounds of the wind, the passing of birds, and the elegant silhouette of Camargue horses moving through the meadows.
To enjoy this experience, our gîte, La Garenne Saint Germain, welcomes you year-round in the heart of the Marais Poitevin.
