    Hiking

    Chinon lives from its historical heritage and especially from its castle. On July 14th, a wonderful fireworks display can be viewed from the bridge over the Venant. An unforgettable experience!

    Hiking

    Chinon is a city whose first fortifications date back to Antiquity. Indeed, its strategic position on the Vienne made the city the gateway to the territories of Anjou and Poitou.

    Today, the city of 8,000 inhabitants offers a rich heritage, from its royal fortress to its medieval streets. It also has all the amenities for an ideal stopover on your walks or itineraries.

    During the summer, the city is frequented by tourists. On the left bank of the Vienne, on the guinguette side, swimming is authorized.

    Note, a train station serves the city.
