쿨롱주-투아르세 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

숲 속 깊숙이 잘 숨겨진 작은 성입니다. 이 멋진 아치로 입구가 장관입니다. 저택의 웅장함을 발견하기 위해 영지 안으로 더 들어갈 수 없다는 것이 안타깝습니다. 가능하다면 관심을 갖고 들러보시길 추천합니다!! 😝

Dating from the 15th century, this manor house in VieuxBeaurepaire, listed as a Historic Monument, is distinguished by successive constructions integrated into older buildings. It is particularly famous for having sheltered Abbot Pierre Proust during the Vendée Wars, who took refuge there to escape deportation and continue to keep the parish registers of Terves.

Small, quiet castle, a little hidden away!!

very good circuit

As you probably know, in the year 732, the armies of Charles Martel repelled the Arab advance around Poitiers. A troop of routed Saracens then barricaded themselves in the old parish church of St Sauveur and promised to surrender only in the event of divine intervention. However, in this month of May, after nights of prayers by the villagers, a cold snap hit the Poitiers countryside to the point of covering the grove with an astonishing layer of frost. The Saracens saw the sign of Allah in this unexpected event and decided to leave the village without giving battle. This legend gave its name to the village and the church of the Holy Trinity became a place consecrated by the religious authorities of the region. The oldest parts of the building that stands today on the small village square date back to the 11th century, but the church had to undergo several restoration campaigns during the 19th century. It now appears to us as a fine example of a Romanesque church, simple, rustic and austere. Note the modern stained glass windows made in the 1990s by Louis-René Petit, an artist who also worked in Sénanque and St Benoît sur Loire. His compositions inspired by frost give the church an atmosphere in harmony with its legend.

This bridge allows you to cross the Thouet and reach Saint Jacques De Thouars. The view there is magnificent! There is a good hill to climb after the bridge, be careful when choosing the pinion!

Superb dyke on the Thouet. Attention it is impossible to cross it in case of flood!

10-hectare body of water on the cycle route of the Thouet Valley. Swimming prohibited but you can cycle around it.
