생메다르 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

This vast 40-hectare forest area is a true paradise for nature lovers. In this forest you will discover old white clay quarries: mysterious lakes with turquoise and crystal-clear water offering breathtaking panoramas!

You have to be very careful with the roots of the acacias which lift the bitumen in places as well as the thorns of these trees. Otherwise very pleasant.

Very pretty village, worth visiting!

We have a superb view of one of the blue lakes of Touvérac. These are actually old white clay quarries. Land exploitation had left large holes that rainwater has filled over the years. The site has been managed since 1996 by the Regional Conservatory of Natural Spaces of Poitou-Charente. The flora developed to create heaths with their characteristic plants. You can also observe many animal species throughout the seasons.

This Renaissance style building looks great with its white stones and slate roof. The castle is believed to have been built in the 16th century, but its exact origin is debated. It belongs to private people.

Some sections of the track are damaged by tree roots and dangerous on a road bike. I often prefer to go by road.

5 km north of Barbezieux, we find this beautiful 13th century church in the small hamlet of Saint-Médard. From here, you can take the greenway to Clérac.

Remains of old white clay quarries, these blue lakes constitute a locally protected habitat with its flaura and forna. You have to go slowly and leave no traces. Swimming is prohibited in these lakes.
