Tour of the Brenne (Vienne, Indre, Indre-et-Loire)

Starting from Le Blanc, in the "land of a thousand lakes," the trail crosses the heart of the Regional Natural Park via Rosnay and Saint-Michel-en-Brenne, where the landscapes of water and reed beds shelter exceptional bird biodiversity. History unfolds with every step, from the Carolingian abbey of Méobecq to the medieval town of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. Heading south through Chaillac and Bélâbre, the terrain becomes more hilly. The architectural heritage reaches its peak at Angles-sur-l'Anglin, with its feudal castle overlooking one of the region's most beautiful valleys, and at Fontgombault Abbey, a Romanesque jewel still in activity. Between the banks of the Creuse and the Anglin, this journey leads hikers from village to village, from Ruffec to Tournon-Saint-Martin, amidst the wetlands and ancient stones of Berry and Poitou.
