Chantemerle Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 19th century, this former agricultural estate includes a park and spaces to cultivate, an orangery, a greenhouse, and remarkable farm buildings. At the time, this way of thinking about the organization of farms was new and is linked to the major industrial rationalization movements observed from the mid-19th century onwards. It was about simultaneously considering aspects related to animal hygiene and comfort, as well as the aesthetics of the buildings.

The Dungeon of Niort is one of the city's most famous buildings. It was part during its construction of a set of ramparts almost 2,700 meters long, which protected the city. Nowadays, the keep of Niort is accompanied by a museum which traces the history of this city of character.

From the Donjon to the Marshes

Highlight • Castle

Very nice bike ride, departure from the keep then along the Sèvre to the Roussille, a former chamois factory transformed into an artist's village, the Auberge de la Roussille is also not to be missed, then towards Magné.

Cherveux Castle

Highlight • Castle

This 15th century castle, with its almost entirely intact moat, gives a real idea of its function as a fortress. The castle is open to the public for visits.
