At the Abbey of Saint-Savin, a sight you'll never tire of awaits: the Gartempe River flowing gently past the ancient stone walls, and the medieval Pont de Saint-Savin spanning the river, with the abbey in the background. A truly magnificent view! The combination of water, bridge, and Romanesque architecture makes this a perfect oasis. Take a moment to sit on the banks.

Magnificent abbey with its frescoes from the Romanesque period

In 1396, Jean de Chauveron obtained permission to fortify the place of Ris. He had bought it in 1385. His granddaughter passed the barony to the Hélie de Pompadour, who exchanged the whole to Pierre de Connigham on March 26, 1518, namely "the castle, castellany, land and lordship of Riz-Chauveron and Azat, together with any appurtenances and appendages, based and situated in the county of La Marche (...) with all justice and jurisdiction..."

This greenway is horrible, in places it is just a forest path... not to mention the chestnuts that inner tubes love.

“Death would gladly walk through the realm of joy, He would gladly press his hand on flowery brows. In ashes tomorrow and torn garments, With bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and a pain to us. Our games are followed by funeral processions; For us Saturnalia can be the cradle, Woe to us! of songs of the dead alone!” Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): “Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry” (1820)

Very pretty view of the Château d'Ingrandes when crossing the bridge. You will find a small grocery store and a café/bar next to the post office in the center of the village.

Located in the Brenne Regional Natural Park, Igrandes is a good starting point for many walks, particularly on the Vallées greenway (V94). We have a beautiful view from the Anglin river bridge, over the village and its superb castle.
