サンジェルミエのおすすめツーリングルート

Prahecq, a small rural village a few kilometers southeast of Niort, can be discovered by taking the "Le Ruban Vert" greenway, a converted former railway line. The stop around the Château de la Voûte offers a pleasant break amidst agricultural landscapes, before continuing on to Melle or Niort. This area is home to the Saint-Maixent church and wine-growing remains.

The Ruban Vert greenway follows the old Niort–Ruffec railway line, offering an accessible loop between Melle and Celles-sur-Belle, over approximately 9km of stabilized sand. The path winds through countryside, stone walls, shaded bridges and wooded passages, with a picnic area near the Chaillots pond. Accessible to cyclists, hikers and horse riders.
