Châtellerault – Bonneuil-Matours

In Châtellerault, the viewing platform connecting the two chimneys of the former arms factory, known as ‘la Manu’, offers a fine view of the town.
A stroll through the historic centre allows you to explore its medieval streets and Saint-Jacques Church – an essential stop for pilgrims on the Way of St James.

Just a short drive from Cenon-sur-Vienne, the Gallo-Roman site of Vieux Poitiers features a tower, the last remaining structure of a 10,000-seat theatre built in the 1st century.

In Vouneuil-sur-Vienne, the Pinail nature reserve, comprising thousands of ponds, peat bogs, meadows and heathland, offers a fascinating break in the countryside.
