Nice walks in the forest

The castle of Touffou, as a private residence, is not a place that can be visited but a walk along the Vienne offers a beautiful view of the castle from its banks.

This magnificent castle overlooking the Vienne is classified as a Historic Monument and Remarkable Garden. Guided tours are possible. Contact 05 49 56 08 48

Its perched castle with its historic district, its eagle show, its market on Saturday mornings in the lower part of the town, just as delightful...Unmissable for those who don't know!

In the photos, it is not the Château d'Harcourt, but the Château Baronnial ... 😏

From the terrace of the former presbytery of the Saint-Pierre collegiate church, you can enjoy another point of view overlooking Chauvigny and the Vienne valley.

Hardly visible from the outside because of its location, the interior is striking with the space that emerges. The columns and painted walls accentuating this so luminous effect.
