As the All Saints' Day holidays approach, you are hesitating: which destination to choose to recharge your batteries as a family? As an ambassador who loves my territory, I answer: “Grand Châtellerault of course!”. To support my advice, I present to you 10 good reasons…
To stroll…
In the streets of one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France
À Angles-sur-l'Anglin, beauty rhymes with preserved environment, simplicity with art of living. The visitor strolls through the cobbled streets lined with centuries-old houses, before hiking around the medieval city. You will fall under the spell of the heritage, landscapes and artisans of this authentic village. “Atmosphere, atmosphere…”
My advice : Climb up to the fortress, proudly erected on its rocky spur and admire the view of the valley.
Explore…
A natural reserve
Fauna and flora are celebrating: the Pinail nature reserve in Vouneuil-sur-Vienne has just been labeled a “wetland of global interest” by Ramsar. And for its 40th anniversary in 2020, this biodiversity hotspot has a new interpretation trail, ideal for observing the 2500 species that coexist in the peat bogs and wet meadows.
