Crissay-sur-Manse walks

Crissay-Sur-Manse, a charming village listed among "the most beautiful villages in France", invites you to discover its architectural heritage overlooking the peaceful landscapes bordered by the green Manse valley.

A pleasant walk through fields, woods and vineyards, discovering the rich heritage of the Touraine region: a church, the ruins of a collegiate church, troglodyte dwellings, wash houses, tuffeau stone houses... and even a "solar farm".

A short walk, first between fields and then along the Vienne, with two castles and some beautiful farmhouses along the way.

Between woods and vineyards, this is a fairly short hike that offers beautiful architectural heritage.

I invite you to discover a remarkable village in Touraine, Villaines-les-Rochers, the village of basket makers. A varied itinerary takes you through the hamlets of the village, rich in troglodyte houses where many active basket makers live, the Château du Petit Boulay and the surrounding countryside, rich in streams and woods.

A route in the Azay le Rideau region, in the Chinon forest and then on the heights of the Indre valley. Don't miss: two beautiful residences and the remarkable oak tree at Cheillé church.

A peaceful walk along the Veude river, then up the hillsides for a panoramic view, before visiting the remarkable Saint-Louis Chapel.

A pleasant walk through woods and fields, allowing you to discover a few hamlets and a lovely view of the Château de la Chatonnière.

A beautiful hike through the Touraine countryside, where fields alternate with woods, culminating in a pond where many birds nest.

Before or after your visit to the Château d'Ussé, which is rumoured to have inspired Charles Perrault's 'Sleeping Beauty', I suggest a lovely circular route along the Indre and then the Loire. There is the option of stopping for a bite to eat in Bréhémont. Remarkable views of the château.

A short walk, mostly in the forest, on the edge of the Parc de Richelieu and alongside the Veude river.

From Cinq-Mars-la-Pile to Mazière-de-Touraine, follow a beautiful stream, the Breuil, which flows through beautiful meadows and feeds numerous ponds.

Forest walk on the outskirts of Ballan-Miré.

Discover Monbazon under the gaze of the statue of the Virgin and Child perched on top of the 10th-century keep. The Indre Valley with its mills, castles, fortress and shops. Moderator's warning on 23/09/2020: Please note! Private property issue in (3). See reviews dated 14/09/2020
