エックス＝シュル＝ヴィエンヌのおすすめツーリングルート

The Gabie Bridge spans the Vienne River between Verneuil-sur-Vienne and Saint-Priest-sous-Aixe. Built in the 19th century from granite, it replaced an ancient Gallo-Roman bridge located a few hundred meters downstream. The site, classified as a natural area of ecological interest, offers beautiful access to the river for a peaceful break.

The ruins of the Jeanne d'Albret Tower, classified as a historic monument in 2000, stand on a rocky outcrop above the confluence of the Aixette and Vienne rivers. Unfortunately, the ruins are not accessible.

No cars, some good compacted gravel, nice areas for a picnic (and maybe even to pitch a tent and bivouac ? Not tested). What more can you wish for ?

Nice little rest area. Good for a rest

great old bridge worth seeing

Château de Losmonerie was built in 1540 by Jean Chantais, it has a beautifully decorated interior and guided tours are available. The gardens are also impressive with distinct gardens: the French garden, the gourmet garden and the wild garden on the banks of the Vienne.

There is a campsite and an interesting porcelain factory to visit near this rest area, including a factory outlet.

The old bridge is a rare and well-preserved vestige. The latter would have been enhanced if the footbridge had been built a little upstream.
