Absolutely gorgeous medieval fortified town built on a hillside overlooking a river. Remains of the castle walls and keep, lovely church, plus art galleries, cafes and great walks around the cobbled streets and surrounding parklands.

Route along the Mère River in the Mervent-Vouvant Forest

Highlight • River

Pretty shaded road which crosses the national forest of Mervent-Vouvant. It runs alongside then crosses the Mother which brings a welcome freshness in summer.
