The ruins of the abbey at Maillezais are located at the southern edge of the Pays-de-la-Loire region, north-east of La Rochelle. (The ruins are as likely to be visited on a visit to the Poitou-Charentes region).

Set on the edges of the Marais Poitevin marsh region the ruins of the abbey are an imposing site, and overlook the limpid green waters of the marshes below.

Within this Benedictine abbey, that dates from the 13th-14th centuries, can be seen the kitchens, refectory and dormitory.

During the summer months several animations and spectacles are held at the abbey, to try and give a feel for monastic life in the Middle Ages.

There is also an interesting 12th century church at Maillezais - a roman style church dating from the 12th century.
