생마르탱 레멜 최고의 사이클링 경로

The Ruban Vert greenway follows the old Niort–Ruffec railway line, offering an accessible loop between Melle and Celles-sur-Belle, over approximately 9km of stabilized sand. The path winds through countryside, stone walls, shaded bridges and wooded passages, with a picnic area near the Chaillots pond. Accessible to cyclists, hikers and horse riders.

The green ribbon is rolling well and the abbey of Celles sur Belle is worth the detour

great gravel course, half road half white path

Small town of character with its three Romanesque churches and the silver mine of the Frankish kings.

A small town of character stretching along the Belle River. The famous 12th-century abbey is a cultural hotspot hosting exhibitions and festivals. The town has also been awarded the "Ville en poésie" (Poetry City) label, and you'll certainly have the opportunity to read a few poems during your stroll!

Very nice view of the St-Hilaire church in Melle. top

This church was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19). Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

Very beautiful Romanesque church ... to see
