At the Abbey of Saint-Savin, a sight you'll never tire of awaits: the Gartempe River flowing gently past the ancient stone walls, and the medieval Pont de Saint-Savin spanning the river, with the abbey in the background. A magnificent view! The combination of water, bridge, and Romanesque architecture makes this a perfect oasis. Take a moment to sit on the banks.

Magnificent, almost magical passage on the Voie Verte des Vallées with this bridge that the vegetation encompasses and which passes over the cycle path. Perfect place for photo enthusiasts.

I entered Chauvigny by this path and I must say that I am very happy with it: the view of the ruins is incredible and even more perfect with the sunset.
