The small town of Coulonges-sur-L'Autize has undergone three major phases of development during its history. In the Middle Ages, the settlement gathered around the church of Saint-Etienne. The medieval nucleus, now a little out of place, is characterized by winding streets where a few houses show signs of age. A second period of urbanization began in the 16th century with the construction of a vast castle, built around a large quadrangular square. Finally, the 19th century ushered in a new period of prosperity and growth. This economic boom, linked to the exploitation of lime kilns, resulted in the construction of major roads, the installation of the railway, the building of market halls and a wealthy housing.

From Coulonges-sur-l'Autize, park on the castle square. A notice board will show you the starting point. Then follow the wooden markers with a bicycle and brown directional arrows. If there are no signs, continue on your way. Discover the Autize valley and let yourself be surprised by the poetry of the landscapes and the charm of the buildings in this area.
