As a couple or with your best friend, between mother and daughter, grandparent and grandson, brother and sister... The Aven'Curieux enjoy getting together one-on-one to spend quality time together.
Twice as many emotions, twice as many bursts of laughter and little joys, to create memories…
In Grand Châtellerault, the two go together. So I reveal to you My top 10 activities to share in pairs.

1• Fly in a hot air balloon

Dear funny birds, making your dream come true is magic!
Living together is exceptional and allows you to share moments that will be forever etched in your memory.

So I suggest you get close to the clouds to admire the landscapes of Grand Châtellerault from the sky.

Practical details Contact Atlantic Center Hot Air Balloon in Châtellerault
My opinion: Sensational and fascinating.

2• Soothe the body and mind

Take time to relax and pamper yourself at the spa… Meet up with your other half, your mother or your best friend for a wellness break.

After a visit to the sauna for muscle relaxation or to the hammam to detoxify your skin, surrender to expert hands for a restorative duo massage.

Practical details Book a treatment at Source Spa from the thermal center of La Roche-Posay.
My opinion: This special moment helps to strengthen ties.

3• Go down the river in a canoe

Let's go for a walk along the water. In your two-person boat, you paddle in tune with your teammate.
A feeling of freedom comes over you.

When will there be a micro-adventure during a bivouac weekend?

Practical details Reserve the equipment with the CSAD from Châtellerault, La Fourmy Canoe in Bonneuil-Matours – Saint-Pierre de Maillé, The Clain Mills in Naintré or Canoeist in Angles-sur-l'Anglin.
My opinion: My husband and son love these outings together.

4• Embark on an electric boat without a license

Au mini-port of Cenon-sur-Vienne, a mini-cruise delights lovers.

Alone in the world, they each take turns driving in harmony with nature, in peace and quiet (the electric motor is silent).

The Grand Châtellerault destination can be discovered in many ways…
For a (grand)parent-child getaway, I suggest the fun geocaching trails Terra Aventura.
A bike loop will rekindle childhood memories between brother and sister while a hiking lends itself perfectly to long discussions with your best friend.

My advice :  As a couple, at sunset, take the interpretation trail of the Pinai Nature Reserveor pedal on the green Line...

6• Twirl

Direction the La Forge ice rink on the La Manu site in Châtellerault.
In Winter, couples break the ice there. In summer, roller skates replace skates for hand-in-hand laps of the track.

Everyone has their own pace, everyone has their own level. The seasoned skater guides and encourages his beginner partner.

8• Hunt for vintage pieces
