Buxeuil (Vienne) walks

You’ll stroll through fields and woods, ending up on the lovely banks of the Creuse with its Henri IV bridge, its lock and its beautiful church.

This village, through which the Creuse flows and which marks the boundary between Vienne and Indre-et-Loire, will introduce you to the “Notre-Dame de Vaugiraud” spring, which owes its origin to the legend of a calf in a pasture that refused all food. It moved away and is said to have struck a patch of earth with its hoof, causing a fountain to gush forth.

Set amongst plains, beautiful old houses and scenic viewpoints, follow these paths, some of which run alongside theGR®655. Then take a moment to explore the town hall’s magnificent wooded park and the heritage trail.

Start by following the banks of the Creuse along a thoroughly idyllic path and continue on your way to the mule track, ending through the woods, passing by the famous Saint-Hilaire Fountain and its listed portico!

A largely wooded walk, followed by unobstructed views of the countryside and Piolant Castle. Option to finish at the fitness trail, where there are a few tables for picnicking. Not recommended during wet weather when the paths become muddy.

Are you a fan of old buildings? This route starting from Cussay is made for you!

This 100% nature walk will introduce you to all the flora and fauna of the Guerche Forest. Take a break at the picnic area near the fountain in the picturesque hamlet of Les Montants.

This walking trail will take you to discover an exceptional complex of 12th- and 17th-century fortifications perched on a steep plateau: the Château and the Tower of Marmande. A little further on, you’ll find the Gentilhommière de la Rie, whose barn and porch were listed as historic monuments in 1976.

This walk will introduce you to the various architectural treasures of the town of Oyré. In the Guerche Forest, you’ll be greeted by finches, robins, wrens, yellowhammers and great spotted woodpeckers.

A picturesque village in a style somewhere between Poitou and Touraine, where you’ll notice the famous tuffeau stone and its slate or flat-tiled roofs! Beautiful views over the Guerche Forest, which you can then explore along magnificent paths.

An old port on the left bank of the Creuse, nestled on the border between Poitou and its neighbours Berry and Touraine. This route offers the chance to discover vineyard huts, beautiful views over the Creuse valley and to cross the magnificent Gué de la Reine stream.

The paths of La Chapelle-Blanche-Saint-Martin will take you in the footsteps of the Bishop of Tours, whose name the commune took in 1918. Across fields and through small hamlets, set off in search of a miraculous fountain.

A country walk awaits you with its pretty undergrowth, small bridges, a beautiful stream and magnificent views over the hillsides of Indre-et-Loire.

This hike, which mainly takes place on field paths and small roads with very little traffic, offers beautiful heritage sites and views. For the most part, the route has been designed and marked by the Vienne departmental committee of the FFRP (the end ofthe PR®® has been short-circuited as it is of limited interest and runs too close to the A10 motorway). (Please note) The route is interrupted between (8) and (9) due to the closure of a passage through an active quarry (see messages posted on 10/12/25). A detour is being considered. In the meantime, please use the alternatives described in the practical information section.

As you follow the path, you’ll walk along the banks of the Vienne, then pass through the woods of La Rabellerie, La Pagerie and Valençay, before skirting the magnificent Maisonneuve Park to rejoin the Vienne.
