The country goes down towards the sea furrowed by the rivers which starting from Niort are spread out in a marsh green and resting where the animal and vegetable species are preserved. The coasts are beautiful, cut out and stretch themselves in long fair beaches where at the horizon into dotted are registered reflective islands white under the sun which are inter alia Noirmoutier and Ré, face with the La Rochelle, Bastion historical and cultural port.
