Discover Champagne-saint-hilaire, Gem of Poitou-Charentes

This circuit takes its name from the territories it follows, it offers two completely different landscapes: one closed (the heath) and the other open (the plains).

Here flow the Bé and the Clain, hence the name of the circuit. By taking this route, you will cross zones of polyculture and breeding to plunge into the valley of Clain, rich in animal and plant species.

Departure : Village of Anché The river Clain has dug its bed in the granite and limestone forming here and there some kind of big steps. Take these natural steps which could have been the legend of Rabelais' giants. On the road, discover two very beautiful castles, the castle of Anché and the castle of Cèdre, both dating from the 19th century. As you drive along the town of Champagné Saint-Hilaire, you may catch a glimpse of the magnificent racehorses for which the Saint-Hilaire stud farm is famous. Stop at the Espace naturel des Trois Fontaines with its picnic areas and numerous leisure activities.

This hike will lead you through the shadows of its woods and to the coolness provided by the Clain river which has carved out large valleys. The woods follow one another and give way to more open areas where rapeseed cultivation prevails. You will enjoy the diversity of the landscapes of a hilly territory, revealing its charms along the kilometers.

This hike will take you along the paths that were once used by the farmers of our corner of Poitou. You will walk between the cereal fields and, if you make this hike in April/May, you will be intoxicated by the honey perfume of the colza in flower.

This circuit owes its name to a historical or legendary fact. The villages crossed are made up of vast expanses of fields. Woods and groves crown the hills while the Dive and the Bouleure meander in the hollow of small valleys providing a soft freshness.

Departure : Church of Voulon On this walk, no less than three rivers will accompany you throughout the 20 km of the route. Indeed, you will follow in part the valleys marked out by the mills of the Dive and the Bouleure, which join the Clain in the commune of Voulon. Along this path, you will be able to contemplate architectural buildings such as the church of Voulon, the mill of Guron, the fountain-washhouse of Fontou, the old footbridge as well as the chapel of Voulon and its fountain. And why not offer you a moment of relaxation at the leisure center of the Iles de Payré.

This multi-hike circuit takes its name from the two rivers it runs alongside.

The right bank of the Clouère was lined with castles and mills, most of which did not survive the changes of the late 19th century.

This multi-hike circuit will make you discover the communes of Château Garnier, Sommières du Clain, St Romain, with their built heritage, through the castle of Monchandy or the church of Château Garnier. Nature will also be present with the Clain and its valley
