"Vélo tout terrain" trails along Sèvre Niortaise

Do you know if:

there are bicycle tracks one or both sides and along/adjacent to Sèvre Niortaise between Magné and Coulon?
there is any fence blocking tracks at some point?
the surface is asphalt or dust trails?
one side is better for riding?

Finally I got a chance this June to ride this route and found it very delightful in the morning. Although from Magne to Coulon has no proper compacted bike trails but both sides of the river there are navigable bike tracks suitable for VTT (mountain bike) as these are only traces of locals driving vehicles on natural vegetation for finding proper fishing spots by the river. I suspect most bike riders reaching Magne switch to highway because they are riding road bike and not VTT. I tried to upload photos but uploader complained pic size larger than something.
