Romantic boat trip in the marshes

Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the marshes for a romantic getaway...
Aboard a traditional boat, glide gently on the calm waters, surrounded by wild and unspoiled nature. Let the whisper of the wind in the reeds and the song of the birds accompany your journey. During this romantic walk, enjoy a gourmet break with a tasting of carefully selected local products: authentic flavors and moments to share. An intimate setting, a bucolic atmosphere and a moment out of time… The promise of an unforgettable memory for two.
