Autumnal light, a panoramic view of the vineyards, a mill in the middle of the vineyard, and such peace and quiet!

A walk through the vineyards.
The route description isn’t detailed enough (plus the green signposts are no longer there), and it’s tricky to rely on the map when not all the existing paths are shown on it.
In short, we had to get the app out and turn on the GPS, which we followed the whole way to stay on course.

The Gaul root of its name means 'strength, courage'. The Hundred Years War persuaded the construction of numerous underground passages, which enabled the inhabitants to take refuge from extreme violence. Without a doubt Protestantism has left its mark in the area, particularly with the Segonzacais. The first Reformed church was founded in 1558. Troubles occurred in 1562 and the parish church was burnt down. Today's Temple church is the third constructed since the Edict of Nantes.
