Clouère (rivière) walks

Circular north of Vivonne around the Clain river, with beautiful scenery.

A pleasant walk on both sides of the Clouère, offering the chance to explore the Thorus plateau and the Arlait dolmen, to visit the Camp Alaric caves and Baptresse with its rich heritage, and to finish at the magnificent historic town of Château-Larcher. In particular, see its Lantern of the Dead, a former priory, its church (the former castle chapel), a manor house, etc.

An easy walk with little elevation gain, clear paths and varied landscapes ranging from heathland and woodland to open plains.

A short half-day walk along the Clouère. This walk follows sections of two other local walks: “From La Motte to Machecou” and “The Effarvate Trail”.
