    Tips

    One thing is for sure: don't worry, you can cycle in the Chinon forest without the risk of encountering a single wolf. The last wolf was shot in Cheillé in 1789.

    Although this poor animal is no longer there, the forest is still home to numerous species of large and small wild animals (deer, roe deer, wild boar, foxes, etc.) and, exceptionally, also rare protected species of birds, amphibians and insects, such as the natterjack toad, the alpine rose-ball toad and even the middle spotted woodpecker (cousin of the great spotted woodpecker) and the sparrowhawk.

    The 5,140 hectare forest massif has a rich and varied flora, in which winter oaks, Scots pine, maritime pine and beech predominate.
