Tips from the Community

Pussy et Gégé
May 8, 2025, Bac à chaînes « Jean Guilloux »

The Jean Guilloux chain ferry allows you to cross the Sèvre Niortaise River from Saint Jean de Liversay (Charente-Maritime) to Vix (Vendée). It is free to access and is operated manually. The chain ferry can be used independently by pedestrians and cycle tourists, with a maximum of 6 people per crossing. Cyclists' bicycles may be taken on board the ferry. Operating and safety regulations are posted on each bank. This type of boat was once a common means of crossing canals and channels in the Marais Poitevin. Free access is limited to 6 people or a maximum weight of 450 kg. Pets are allowed. Accessibility dates are from April 5 to October 31, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The acquisition of the "Jean Guilloux" chain ferry was made possible thanks in part to the support of the European Union.

To cross here, take a bike ride or walk. Grab the chain and pull, this way you will be on the opposite bank.

Here you can / must be your own ferryman to cross the Sèvre Niortaise. However, it takes some time to study the instructions for using the boat, to be able to handle the chain, and - for the first time - to have self-confidence. On the west side is a campsite, at the counter you can reward yourself before or after the crossing with a café.
