	Bernezac.com - Le Marais Poitevin, map and landmarks
		The Marais Poitevin is one of the rare wet zones of France and after the Camargue, it is the second largest.
		The Marais Poitevin covers overall approximately 100 000 hectares and the length from east to west, from Niort to the ocean, is 70 km.
		For the record, the conche of the Marais Poitevin has nothing to do with the conche of the coast of Royan, where it is the name given to a beach sheltered between two cliffs.

	Trait Poitevin
		Born and bred in the marshes of Western France, the Poitevin is the least known of nine French heavy breeds, and the most endangered.
		Yet, as a descendant of the Flemish horses brought to Poitou in the 17th century to drain the marshes, it is related to the Shire - and hence to the Clydesdale - whose ancestors came from Holland to reclaim the Fens.
		When four wheel drives replaced mules, the Poitevin declined and was saved only thanks to the dedication of a few breeders who kept mares because their grandfathers had made their fortunes with them.

		The Poitevin was imported into the region to drain the swamps and marshes found there, suited as such by its very large feet.
		The mules produced by Poitevin mares are both famous and valuable throughout Europe.
		Poitevins which are not used for the breeding of mules, however, generally face a more dismal fate, that of the meat market.

		In the fourth proto-bassoon, a further refinement of the design, the maker grappled with design problems that were soon to give rise to the bassoon's wing joint, an ingenious, low-tech solution that is essentially unimproved more than three centuries later.
		The shawm was closely identified with the French court, to the point that the king himself may have intervened to oversee its preservation and development.
		Louis XIII and certain Poitevin makers appear to deserve significant credit for the morphology of the baroque bassoon, and thus for the basic shape of the modern bassoon.

		Their object was to assist the King in the difficulties with which he was surrounded, and their immediate aim was to withdraw him from the metropolis; Louis' own oft-repeated indecision alone prevented them from being successful.
		The storming of the Tuilleries, and the imprisonment of Louis, completely destroyed their body as a club; but the energy of each separate member was raised to the highest pitch.
		The Poitevins no longer met in the Rue Vivienne, but they separated with a determination on the part of each individual royalist to use every effort to replace the King.

		VOLUME I CHAPTER I THE POITEVINS The history of France in 1792 has been too fully written, and too generally read to leave the novelist any excuse for describing the state of Paris at the close of the summer of that year.
		It was on the morning of the 12th, that the last meeting of the little club of the Poitevins took place.
		They met with throbbing hearts and blank faces; they all felt that evil days had come that the Revolution which had been so petted and caressed by the best and fairest in France, had become a beast of prey, and that war, anarchy, and misrule were at hand.

	Froissart: Sir John Chandos Rescues the Earl of Pembroke
		As soon as he knew that sir John Chandos had disbanded his army, and was returned to Poitiers, he assembled his own forces, which consisted of three hundred English and Poitevins, and marched from Mortagne.
		The English and the Poitevins marched on without any thought or precaution, having heard nothing of these men at arms: they had entered Poitou with all their pillage, and came, one day about noon, to a village called Puirenon, where they halted, after the manner of persons in perfect security.
		These lords were soon armed, and sallying out from their hotels, collected their men together; but they could not all assemble, for the numbers of the French were so considerable that the English and Poitevins were overpowered; and in this first attack, more than one hundred and twenty were killed or made prisoners.

		Peter des Roches along with his friend Stephen Segrave, had great influence over the king and proceeded to fill the offices of State with Poitevins, upsetting many of the barons.
		Eventually Henry was persuaded to sack Roches and Segrave and expel the Poitevins, but then, unwisely, Henry began to fill his court with Frenchmen, especially after his marriage to Eleanor of Provence and the marriage of her sister, Margaret, to Louis IX of France.
		Although this upset the barons it was to have a remarkable effect on English culture, as France was then at the height of literary and architectural art.

		Therefore they withdrew back again out of the dikes and said : ` Let us go hence for this night, for we have failed of our purpose.' And so they remounted on their horses and returned whole together to Chauvigny on the river of Creuse, a two leagues thence.
		Then the Poitevins demanded of sir John Chandos if he would command them any further service.
		He answered and said `Sirs, return home again when it please you in the name of God, and as for this day I will abide still here in this town.' So there departed the knights of Poitou and some of England to the number of two hundred spears.
