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.

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!
