A must-see: the Happy-culteurs of Champigny sur Veude (the station).

Beautiful gardens and an art collection in the castle.

Integrated into the landscape of the Châteaux du Val de Loire, the Château du Rivau is a medieval fortress built in the 15th century from foundations dating back to the 13th century. Le Rivau is renowned for its stables from the 15th century when they were still only made of wood. Knowing its reputation for its steeds, Joan of Arc stopped at Rivau and came to look for combat horses in 1429 before joining the siege of Orléans. But the castle is especially famous for its gardens (labeled “Remarkable Garden”) evoking legendary tales and stories. Hidden behind a tree-lined enclosure, it is partially visible from this side of the road.

The Notre Dame church was built in 1635 by Pierre Le Mercier.

L'Île-Bouchard is a commune made up of two suburbs, Saint Maurice and Saint Gilles, each on opposite sides of the Vienne. The two suburbs are connected by a bridge and separated by the island which gives its name to the city - Île-Bouchard.
