Central France
Close by you can see the stunning architecture in the medieval town of St Benoit de Sault, which has won awards as one of France’s most beautiful towns. It is the nearest town for shops, restaurants, supermarket, tourist information, and petrol.
Other nearby towns to explore include Argenton-sur-Creuse, St Gaultier, and Montmorillan all offering beautiful riverside views, shops, cafes and restaurants. Or if you wanted to take a tour of a grand château Chenonceau Château and Château De Valencay are not too far away.
This area of France makes excellent use of its many lakes and rivers, with many places offering kayak and canoe hire to explore the water futher. The spectacular Creuse valley is a very popular spot for kayaking, whilst Lac D’Eguzon, is a beautiful lake for swimming and water-sports. There is also a children’s play area and fresh-water swimming lakes at Chaillac.
Other fun local activities include the Velorail at Chauvigny, an old railway track now used for pedal-powered carts following a track with spectacular views of the town.
Bike hire is available from a local company, and there are stables nearby for horse riding. The Futuroscope theme-park at Poitiers is also within easy reach.
