Nice location to take a break here. Picnic benches are set up in the shaded area. The terrace of the summer bar La Guinguette has a nice view of the river Vienne and the Royal Fort of Chinon.

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

superb greenway from Chinon to Richelieu. old railway line transformed into a magnificent greenway

Chinon lives from its historical heritage and especially from its castle. On July 14th, a wonderful fireworks display can be viewed from the bridge over the Venant. An unforgettable experience!

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

Park Richelieu

We were supposed to do richelieu Châtellerault by following the greenway that crosses the park, but we had to turn back in front of a locked gate marked as a private road... so we had to turn around!

Chinon is a city whose first fortifications date back to Antiquity. Indeed, its strategic position on the Vienne made the city the gateway to the territories of Anjou and Poitou. Today, the city of 8,000 inhabitants offers a rich heritage, from its royal fortress to its medieval streets. It also has all the amenities for an ideal stopover on your walks or itineraries. During the summer, the city is frequented by tourists. On the left bank of the Vienne, on the guinguette side, swimming is authorized. Note, a train station serves the city.
