What to See and Do
Owners Recommendations
Local Area and Activities
'Activity Centre'
"River Gartempe Lathus Centre for the sporty! The Centre de Plein-Air at Lathus offers everything from white water canoeing to a circus school! There are 100km of signposted tracks for walking, mountain biking and horse riding, plus archery, abseiling and fishing. There is even an underground lake to see. The walk along the Gartempe to the Roc d'Enfer is a beautiful walk. The river is full of rapids and white water (no surprise that it's an international standard canoe course). But be warned, it is narrow, bumpy, steep in places and it is treacherous when it is wet. Web Link:
www.cpa-lathus.asso.fr"
'Angles sur l'Anglin'
"Time from Montmorillon approx 35 mins. This village has been classified as one of the most beautiful in France and as you walk along the pretty streets it's not hard to see why. Of particular note are the views of the valley from the medieval ruins and the shops selling Les jours d'Angles. It's a skill that involves creating designs on silk, linen or cotton, by 'drawing threads' from the original material. It has the appearance of lace or embroidery, but is neither. We have been told that this village was originally built by English soldiers settling in the area in the middle ages, hence the name. Just opened is the Roc aux Sorciers. It's a very good reproduction of a series of cave sculptures and paintings created 15,000 years ago, that were discovered close to Angles sur l'Anglin. The original site is protected and is still being researched.

'Brenne National Park'
"Montmorillon to Bélâbre approx 30 mins. La Brenne is massive. It is known as the area of a thousand lakes, which may give you some idea of scale. Get a guide map before you go! You'll find them at most tourist offices in the Vienne. Some nature lovers and bird watchers spend the whole of their holidays in the Brenne, such is the diversity of birdlife, flora and insects. We visited for the first time with some friends who have a good knowledge of nature and were amazed by the number of beautiful birds we saw in a totally free environment. A total of 267 birds species have been observed in the park, along with many butterflies, dragonflies etc. Spring is a great time to visit as many wild flowers are in bloom, including orchids. Dotted around the park are numerous hides and observation points, a decent set of binoculars will give you a lot more from your trip. When you're ready for a break from all that nature, there are some nice restaurants and cafés with lake views to relax in. Our favourites overlook the Etang du Gabriau. If you're feeling energetic, there are lakes with swimming beaches, such as the one at Bélâbre, plus many signposted walks. Cycling is popular and there are also centres for canoeing, horse riding, even parachuting! As you would expect from an area with a thousand lakes, you'll find some good fishing spots too.

'Chauvigny'
"Approx 30 mins away from La Trimouille. One of the prettiest towns in the region, with the old medieval town sitting on a rocky ridge above the River Vienne. The lower part of the town has a lively market on Saturday mornings. Attractions include Le Donjon de Gouzon, a museum focusing on popular traditions and archaeology and Les Géants du Ciel, an exciting bird demonstration that takes place in a ruined chateau. Powerful birds of prey, elegant storks, colourful parrots and comical kookaburras fly around (and sometimes into) the audience. The Fruit Bat cave is fascinating too, but make sure you get to it quickly after the show as you will have a long wait to get in if you don't. There is a velo rail enabling visitors to take a leisurely ride around the town and surrounding countryside. You need to book at the tourist office. Web Link: www.geantsduciel.com"
'Liesure Centre & Crocodile Planet'
"Approx 25 mins away and largely famous for its nuclear power station, Civaux also has the Abyssea centre, which houses a very nice swimming pool and excellent kids pool, 10 pin bowling and 20m deep scuba diving tank. There is a huge glass domed crocodile exhibit with over 200 croc's from around the world. 'La Planète des Crocodiles' is worth a visit. Web Link: La Planete des Crocodiles "
'Parc Puy du Fou'
"A massive theme park approx 2 hrs 40 mins away with some spectacular shows. Medieval battles and Roman gladiators are among the attractions provided by 2,700 performers. It's epic. The park is only open in the summer, normally June to September and you have to book for the evening show. Try and make it a full day and evening if you can
Web Link: www.puydufou.com"
'Poitiers City & Futuroscope Tourist Park.'
"All your shopping needs can be catered for in Poitiers. There are retail parks on the outskirts of the city and a nice mix of quaint streets with small shops and shopping centres within the city. Probably the biggest tourist attraction in the Vienne is Futuroscope, the park of the moving image. It's worth a visit just to look at the stunning architecture. There are about 20 attractions in the park, ranging from Cyber Avenue, an area dedicated to computer and internet games, up to exciting 3D virtual reality experiences. The 14 'films' on show vary from exciting to interesting and from 3 minutes long to 50 minutes long. Headsets are available for English commentary. I'd advise you spend a little time studying the layout of the park, starting times and durations, before you go charging off. It will save you a lot of hanging around waiting for shows to start. In the evening there is a spectacular light show around the lake.Web Link:

'Saint Savin Abbey'
"This little town approx 20 mins away dominated by a spectacular abbey which is listed as a World Heritage Masterpiece by UNESCO. The Romanesque murals are the finest in France. A 'must see' if you are in the region. Audio guided tours are available in English.
Web Link:
www.francebalade.free.fr"
'Valley of the Monkeys'
"La Vallée des singes (time from Montmorillon approx 1 hr 20 mins). Over 350 apes and monkeys in a 15 hectare park. In most of the enclosures you are walking through the monkeys territory and they run, jump and play all around you. Visitors are not allowed to feed or approach the primates, but you will see plenty of them. They are not at all shy. A lovely day for young and old and although it is a big park you do not have to walk far between attractions. They link together well. Web Link:
www.la-vallee-des-singes.fr"
Markets and Shopping
'La Rochelle Atlantic Coast'
"The Atlantic coast about 2 hours 30 mins away, around La Rochelle benefits from a 'micro climate' which makes it the second sunniest area in France after the Cote d'Azur. Whether you wander around the old harbour or the marina with 3,500 moorings, you will be captivated. There is a large aquarium, lots of old buildings, museums and gardens. There are boat trips to the nearby islands and the wonderful bridge to the Ile de Ré with endless golden sand beaches not to be missed.Web Link:
www.larochelle-info.com"
'La Trimouille (Nearest Village)'
"La Trimouille the nearest village is on the banks of the River Benaize. This is a popular spot for fishing, walking and biking and there are numerous signposted walks which take you through the peaceful and beautiful countryside. L'isle aux serpents, just outside the town is L'Ile aux Serpents. A reptile house with 60 species of snakes, lizards, terrapins and alligator. Well worth a visit. The town has 4 bars and 2 restaurants. The Hotel du Nord is very simple, very French and very good value for money. The Café des Sports in the centre of town is good for a beer and a game of pool and the Restaurant Benaize, great plate of the day menu oposite the camp site.Web Link:www.tourisme.fr/office-de-tourisme/la-trimouille
On the 14th July (Fête Nationale) the town throws a big party in the field by the bridge. There's live music and a DJ. The evening ends with a huge firework display. It's a great day. There is normally a Brocante (antiques fair/boot sale) on the first Sunday in August. Visit Tony Réault's boulangerie in the Place de la Mairie for the best bread and croissants in the area."
'Les Herolles'
"A tiny village, only about 10 mins away, which once a month hosts reputedly the biggest street and oldest market in France. It's on the 29th of the month. A traditional french market where you can buy everything from shoes to a donkey! The livestock and poultry markets are fascinating. Sheep, goats, horses, etc are under a covered area in pens, while poultry and rabbits are at the top end of the market with avenues of clothes and wine bars!"
'Montmorillon ( Local Town)'
"Montmorillon (approx 10km from La Bouliniere). An historic town providing 3 modern supermarkets for daily provisions to a lovely old quarter, known as the Cité de l'écrit (city of writing) rising up from the River Gartempe. Attractions include shops demonstrating various ancient skills associated with books and literature and some beautiful churches and chapels, including La Chapelle Saint Nicolas. Good selection of eating places for an evening meal include Le Lucullus in the Hotel de France and Le Roman des Saveurs overlooking the old bridge, with creperie oposite, three pizza and pasta restaurants, also many bars/cafes. There is even a good Chinese restaurant Bonheurs d'Asie. The town boasts 2 very nice tea rooms. Thé Gallery, and La Terrasse, which is by the old bridge. Around the town you will see 'History Through the Streets' signs which show old photographs taken from the spot where you are standing. They also give information on an aspect of the towns history in French and English. Maps are available at the Office du Tourisme. The main market on a Wednesday morning, though there is a small market on Saturdays. The town also provides 3 indoor/outdoor tennis courts, mini golf, indoor swimming pool and recreation park. Finally, you must visit the macaroon shop (and museum) Rannou-Métivier. Macaroons are a traditional delicacy of the town. Web Link: www.montmorillon.fr "
