Description

Welcome to the La Ronde pleasure boat area, at Bazoin: a fixed wooden pontoon 60 m by 2 m, equipped with two utility pedestals providing electrical connection and potable water supply directly at the quay. Located at the heart of the main hydraulic junction of the Marais poitevin, this site marks the meeting of four waterways — the historic arrival of the Sèvre Niortaise (collecting the Vieille Autise), the Nouveau Béjou canal (born just downstream of Damvix) sharing its mouth with the Vieux Béjou, and the confluence of the Mignon — in a characteristic tangle of water arms and spits of land. The toponym Bazoin (or Bazouin) — possibly from “bada” (mud) + “onno” (watercourse) — denotes this hamlet shaped by hydraulic works, with several farms and the lockkeeper’s house near the Nouveau Béjou weir. Local life, essentially agricultural and artisanal, revolves around the boat: itinerant traders travel to the site from Damvix and Maillé, a school based in Damvix is jointly maintained with Maillé and La Ronde. Note, however: the site is regularly isolated by winter and spring floods, where towing-path footbridges and crossings of the weirs remain narrow and precarious — the boat is then indispensable.
