Curzon: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Curzon combines cultural sites, water-based activities and the landscape of the Marais Poitevin. Every detail in the crypt of the Church of Saint-Romain carries significance: nine rib vaults are supported by four free-standing central columns and ten columns integrated into the walls. The central capitals combine floral motifs with finely crafted volutes.

Culture

Cura Bona is a cultural venue inaugurated in 2020 in the restored former Chapelle de l’Orphelinat. The cultural association associated with Cura Bona organises 6 to 7 exhibitions each year. Various artists, including painters and engravers, present their works to the public.

The bridges of Port-la-Claye date from the 18th century and are made of granite. The first bridge of Port-la-Claye stretches across the municipalities of Curzon, Lairoux, La Bretonnière-La Claye and Saint-Cyr-en-Talmondais.

Nature

Curzon, together with other municipalities, is part of the Marais Poitevin Natura 2000 site, which is covered by Ramsar recognition. Curzon’s 296-hectare Communal is integrated into the Parc naturel régional du Marais Poitevin.

The natural meadow of Le Communal is divided by the coastal river Lay: 170 hectares lie on the Curzon side and 126 hectares on the Lairoux side.
