The sights are good but the terrain is not especially after high winds and heavy rain. Some people might find it tricky to navigate.

very very nice path :)

History in brief Antiquity: the site is strategically located on a promontory and has been inhabited for 3,000 years. It was not fortified until the end of the Roman Empire. Middle Ages: in 1154, the new King of England, Henry II Plantagenet, became ruler of an empire stretching from Scotland to the Pyrenees and made Chinon his continental capital. He had a large palace built next to the fortress, which has now disappeared. In 1189, abandoned by his sons, Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland, and fleeing from the King of France, he eventually died there. Philippe Auguste had the defensive Tour du Coudray built there after the siege of 1205. Renaissance: in 1454, the fortress became the main residence of Queen Marie d'Anjou, who lived there without her husband. She spent lavishly on decorating the house to her taste. From the 16th century onwards, the fortress was gradually abandoned and fell into disrepair. Despite the dangerous nature of the terrain, it became a public promenade in 1824 and was listed as a monument in 1840. The restoration of the estate began in 1854 thanks to the efforts of the writer Prosper Mérimée. Source: https://loirelovers.fr/en/visit-royal-fort-chinon/

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.

On this bridge over the La Vienne you have a nice view of the skyline of Candes-Saint-Martin. This cozy village is located near the confluence of the Vienne and the Loire.

Here you are at the prayer house of the small community of Couziers. If you stop here, one of the 108 inhabitants of the village will come out for a chat.
