Dating from the 13th century, at the foot of the city ramparts, this bridge ultimately offers the best view of the Château de Thouars.

The Chouans bridge on the Thouet is a medieval bridge which crosses the Thouet river between Thouars and Saint-Jean-de-Thouars. The bridge was fortified in the 15th century and witnessed the passage of the Vendée army during the French Revolution. You can admire the architecture of the bridge which has two arches and triangular spouts on the piers. You can also enjoy the view of the river and the castle of the Dukes of La Trémoille on the hill. The bridge is classified as a historic monument and has been restored several times.

Natural waterfalls are rather rare in this region. This one is remarkable in its incredibly preserved green setting.

In 1635, Marie de la Tour d'Auvergne, Duchess of La Trémoïlle, demolished the castle that was on the site and built this more modern castle. His family then moved to Paris and abandoned him. Since then it has been used as barracks and prison. It is now public property and was restored in the 1990s.

The Romanesque and Gothic church of Saint-Médard de Thouars is characterized by its three naves: a central one and two side vaults of the same height. Its main portal is remarkable and overlooks a small quiet square.
