Looking for a different way to explore the marshes? Paddleboarding or kayaking on the Seudre is a peaceful and unique way to discover the landscapes around Chaillevette, surrounded by nature and beautiful estuary views.

Exploring the waterways by paddleboard or kayak is one of our favourite ways to discover the peaceful landscapes around Chaillevette. The calm channels of the Seudre River wind through salt marshes and traditional huts, offering a unique view of this beautiful estuary.

As you glide quietly along the water, you may spot herons, egrets and other birdlife that inhabit the marshes. Paddling towards Mornac-sur-Seudre is particularly enjoyable, with lovely scenery and a tranquil atmosphere that makes the experience truly memorable.

if you’d like to rent a kayak, you can visit Seudrement Kayak, which offers rentals and guided trips to explore the Seudre.

💡 Our tip: Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light over the marshes is at its most beautiful and the water is usually calmer.
