Superb castle along the Thouet which flows into the Loire at Saumur. Many women prisoners, victims of the plague were saved by the inhabitants of Montreuil-Bellay horrified by the conditions of detention in the castle.

Small bridge over the Thouet

Highlight • Other

Small bridge that allows you to cross the Thouet and join a small dirt road, very pleasant by bike. A few steps to climb and potentially slippery in winter!

Pont des Chouans on the Thouet

Highlight • Bridge

The Chouans bridge on the Thouet is a medieval bridge which crosses the Thouet river between Thouars and Saint-Jean-de-Thouars. The bridge was fortified in the 15th century and witnessed the passage of the Vendée army during the French Revolution. You can admire the architecture of the bridge which has two arches and triangular spouts on the piers. You can also enjoy the view of the river and the castle of the Dukes of La Trémoille on the hill. The bridge is classified as a historic monument and has been restored several times.
