Chauvigny, the city of 5 castles
An essential stopover in a stay in Vienne, located 25 minutes from Futuroscope and Poitiers, Chauvigny, a city of 7,500 inhabitants, is a welcoming city.
Its 5 castles located on the same promontory overlooking the Vienne river make Chauvigny a unique site in Europe.
This medieval city, a Mecca of Romanesque art, also owes its reputation to the Chauvigny stone which adorns many famous monuments (the Opéra Garnier, the Louvre Museum, several bridges over the Loire ...) and to its porcelain internationally famous.
The town of Chauvigny also presents a bird of prey show within the grounds of the Château des Evêques.
In the upper town, the walls host a high-flying spectacle in which birds from all over the world evolve.
In the lower town, the bike-rail and the canoe-kayak base allow you to discover the surroundings of Chauvigny.
