ラ・シャペル-ベルトラン周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

素晴らしいオープンスペースで、休憩を充実させる多くのレストランがあります。 マイナス点は、ボートでの移動は上陸が必要で、2つの階段を越えて100mの運搬が必要なことです...

世界のへそはまさにここです！メルヴェイユ通り、エリスン城からすぐのところ。 1990年に語り手のヤニック・ジャランのイニシアチブで生まれた「世界のへそ祭り」は、2年に一度プーニュ＝エリスンで開催されます。それは「言葉の芸術を中心としたショーやファンタジーを提供する、奇妙なイベント」と自称しています。ここでは、語り手、ストリートアーティスト、ミュージシャン、ビジュアルアーティスト、詩人、作家、おしゃべり好き、そして夢想家に出会うことができます... 地元の人々やよそ者と芸術的、詩的、人間的な冒険を共有し、集まるための素晴らしい口実です。世界に疑問を投げかけ、その再発明を信じるための、お祭り騒ぎで不遜な瞬間です。 地元の（ああ、すみません、いや…世界的な！）名所となったこのフェスティバルから、今日私たちが「30年間、物語と話し言葉の芸術を推進するために、文化、観光、教育、専門的な活動の山を提供してきた」と呼ぶであろう第三の場所が残っています。ギャティヌの奥深くにある、本当に特別な場所で、詩的なひねりを加え、たっぷりのユーモアを添えた、気まぐれの味を楽しむことができます。

A church dedicated to Saint Peter is documented in the 9th century in the village. A Romanesque church was then built in the 11th century on the site of the current Saint-Honoré church, but with a different orientation. Initially dedicated to Saint Mathias, it was renamed Saint Honoré in the 15th century, a martyr from the Thénezay area, and houses the relic of his skull. The church was remodeled several times, notably in 1685, 1753, and 1784. The church was closed from 1791 to 1802. Its poor condition forced its complete demolition at the end of the 19th century. It was rebuilt between 1901 and 1903 in the neo-Romanesque style with a tall bell tower, according to plans by the architect Girard de Niort. It was consecrated on October 17, 1903, by Bishop Pelgé. It has three naves lit by richly colored stained-glass windows. The choir stalls, dating from the 18th century, were purchased in 1825 by Abbot de la Roche, parish priest; they came from the deconsecrated Cistercian abbey of Pin de Béruges. They were replaced in the current church in 1903. Two years later, the church was confiscated by law from the diocese and became the property of the municipality, which is now responsible for its maintenance. The white marble high altar with columns, donated in 1903 by the Countess of Talhouët-Roy, was sold in the 1970s and replaced with a wooden table facing the people. The stained-glass windows in the choir come from the Touan house in Paris and depict medallions depicting the life of Jesus. In 2003, the main bell collapsed; A new bell was recast from the old one by the Bollée d'Orléans firm and financed by subscription. The Bishop of Poitiers blessed it on October 11, 2003. Today, the parish of Thénezay no longer exists, and its former territory is part of the parish group of Saint-Jacques-en-Gâtine (comprising about sixty bell towers). Sunday Mass is now celebrated only occasionally in this village of nearly 1,400 inhabitants. The church is open for weddings and funerals.

very pleasant place for walking, cycling or running

Things to See & Do Ramparts: With approximately 30 semicircular towers, the granite walls symbolize medieval urban robustness. Ruined Castle: All that remains of the castle is a round tower (perhaps the keep) and sections of walls restored since the 1980s. Panoramic Walk: The rampart path offers splendid views of the Thouet Valley and the Saint-Paul district.

History & Architecture Medieval Construction: Built in the early 13th century under the aegis of John Lackland, the citadel rests on a natural promontory reinforced by three defensive walls, towers, and ramparts. Castle and Bastion: Its original, isolated castle included towers such as the Powder Tower and the Harcourt Tower. In the 15th century, Arthur de Richemont added the bastille and an artillery boulevard. Citadel Gate (or Clock Gate): The gatehouse is flanked by two almond-shaped towers and topped with a clock tower. A granite staircase provides access to the guardroom and the patrol path.

The citadel of Parthenay, nicknamed the "little Carcassonne of the West", is one of the city's heritage jewels, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the bend of the Thouet River.

Better equipped than many campsites! The restrooms are super clean, and they even provide toilet paper and soap. The shower costs €1 (coin-operated) and runs for 8 minutes. Bike washing (including cleaner) is free. There's also a garage for bike parking, which you can lock if you have a lock with you. We loved it!
