La Cabane du Port (G 775)

At the end of the dead end of the Gachère, the Cabane du Port has a typically maraîchine architecture and name. The "cabane" refers to a peasant dwelling erected on the edge of the "wet" marshes (flooded in winter) and the "port" to a pier where the boats with their cargo of hay, mogettes, ash wood, eels and pikes would glide along... The gully escapes towards the "Marais Sauvage", which is less impoverished than it was originally, since it was developed into vast plots of grassland in the second half of the 19th century. The outbuildings, linked to the house by the "ballet" (courtyard), house a "ponne", a monolithic tank for washing clothes. A line of ox bones used to hang fishing nets or trellises runs along the front of the building.
This independent gîte, facing south over a garden, has two bedrooms: one with three 90 cm beds, two of which are bunk beds, the other with a 140 cm bed.
