Places to see and visit along the paths

The Deux-Sèvres : a tale of two rivers... !

From the greens of the marsh to the walls of Parthenay, the Deux-Sèvres have many stories to tell, from the pyramids built in the Neolithic period to the tagging trends of the Middle Ages, not to mention the powerful cities that blossomed well before the Renaissance. Along these paths, astonishment is at every turn !





Along the way, discover St Hilaire church in Melle



In the Deux-Sèvres, a land with a highly strategic past and still seeped in history, the unspoilt landscapes shelter an outstanding heritage : some of Europe’s most imposing Tumuli, romanesque churches, châteaux, museums. Many tales and legends lie hidden away beneath the stones...

In the Deux-Sèvres, Heritage Day is every day !
