Camping La Roche Posay: local discoveries and activities

Situated at the confluence of the Creuse and Gartempe rivers, head for the heights of La Roche-Posay, where stunning views await you! An ideal hike for those who love relief.

Take advantage of this long hike to discover the great pine avenues of the forest on the GR48 and the view of the old town and the Creuse River from the viaduct.

La Roche-Posay, a charming resort equipped with all shops and services, offers many activities: the casino and its slot machines, a golf course, the racecourse of La Gâtinière, the equestrian center and a fitness center: Le Spa Source. When you arrive in Angles-sur-l'Anglin, through the lower town, a postcard landscape will seize you, justifying in itself the title of most beautiful Village in France. This small town has preserved its medieval character, old stone staircases, a river, an old water mill and the silhouette of an imposing ruined keep of the Château Fort, perched on a rocky outcrop.

Departing from the spa town of La Roche-Posay, you follow the banks of the Gartempe to the pretty village of Vicq-sur-Gartempe, where you can take a break by the river and discover the famous "Sérénity" cookies. The journey continues through fields dotted with pretty hamlets to the village of Pleumartin, with its large covered market and the beautiful village of Crémillé. After a few views over the valley and a few woodland passages, you'll come back to the resort and perhaps finish with a moment of relaxation at the Spa Source.

The GR®364 is a long-distance hiking trail linking De Plein-Bois (Vienne) to Sables-d'Olonne (Vendée), passing through the Gâtine and the Marais Poitevin.

Ideal for families! This tour takes you through 3 picturesque villages, Coussay-les-Bois, Pleumartin and Leigné-les-Bois, each with its own charm. You'll discover the beautiful Château de la Vervolière, built in the late 15th century and once owned by the Cardinal de Richelieu family. This walk offers you a real moment of sharing and escape!

This trail takes you to Lésigny. This charming village enjoys a picturesque location on the left bank of the Creuse, which acts as a natural border with Touraine. Discover the Château de Boutelaye and cross the "La Luire" stream along an ancient Roman road and Gallo-Roman bridge. Don't miss the Fontaine Sainte-Néomaye on your way back to Lésigny and its legend. Starting point: Parking de la Place Notre-Dame 86270 Lésigny

A country walk awaits you, with its pretty undergrowth, little bridges, a beautiful stream and magnificent views over the Indre-et-Loire hills! Starting point: Place Notre-Dame 86270 Lésigny-sur-Creuse

You'll walk along part of the old railway line between Pleumartin and Yzeures-sur-Creuse, and discover a number of calvaries. Starting point: On the square in front of the town hall 86450 Pleumartin

Magnificent views over the Creuse valley mark out your route! You'll also discover a picturesque hamlet with a flower-filled fountain, as well as beautiful wooded paths. Starting point: Parking place de la Mairie 86270 Mairé

The Creuse Bridge, from the Poitevin bank to the Touraine bank, between Vienne & Indre et Loire, has seen many upheavals! In 1792, a major flood swept away the medieval stone bridge. At the end of the small peninsula, you can still see two large masonry blocks that supported the deck before the bridge collapsed at the end of the 18th century, following a major flood. Until the 19th century, the Creuse was crossed by toll ferry from the end of Rue de la Cale, also known as the mini-port. In 1937, the toll suspension bridge built in 1835 was replaced by the present-day bridge. The bridge witnessed fierce fighting on June 22, 1940, in the vain hope of delaying the Nazi advance.

Take advantage of the banks of the Creuse to relax in the heart of nature. Take a break in the sun or enjoy the shade of the majestic trees in this haven of peace. Facilities for young and old, petanque pitch, canoe hire, fixed and ephemeral games, relaxation area, picnic area.

The Porte Bourbon, emblematic of the town of La Roche-Posay, is the only 12th-century main entrance still standing today. The other two gates disappeared in the 17th and 18th centuries: the Porte Saint-Louis (to the north) and the Porte de Guyenne (to the south). For many years, the Porte Bourbon was the main urban thoroughfare between southern Touraine and La Roche-Posay. Some trucks got stuck there, and drivers had to let the air out of their tires to get through!

The Castel (private property), dating from the 18th century, encloses a medieval house and rests on the ramparts, garrisoned by soldiers.

Square Abbé Brand, at the foot of the church, was inaugurated in 1994 as a tribute to this young chaplain who, with his strength of conviction, saved the lives of 60 hostages when a retreating German company passed through on August 27, 1944, a hot summer Sunday, in the late afternoon. The Germans were in fact the vanguard of a large column that passed through La Roche-Posay for several days. Magnificent panorama over the Creuse.

In tribute to René Barré, former mayor of La Roche-Posay from 1983 to 2011, this garden was inaugurated in 2013 on the town hall block.

The medieval town of La Roche-Posay still reflects the twelfth and twelfth centuries, thanks to the remains of the ramparts and the parapet walk... The Rue des Remparts still reveals the defensive part of the medieval town of La Roche-Posay.

At the foot of the Donjon, in the heart of the medieval city, the Donjon garden is laid out with tubs of vegetables and fruit...
