Par Vaux et par Bois - Circuit n°55

On this walk, you'll have to take a leap, a very big leap back in time: imagine yourself in the Middle Ages... in these parts, it was worth the detour!
The Priory of St-Denys en Vaulx belonged to the royal abbey of St-Denys-en-France and benefited from numerous privileges granted successively by Dagobert I and Charles the Bald. It was around 1152 that the monk Guillaume of St-Denys Abbey in Paris was exiled there, and left a very precise description of the joie de vivre that reigned on these lands: "My valley is crowned with delights..."
In addition to this rather cheerful atmosphere, you'll discover the Notre-Dame church, the Priory (privately owned) and the centuries-old oak tree of the Moulin de Chapt.

Departure point: Car park in front of the Mairie 86220 Vaux-sur-Vienne
