Gençay walks

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”.

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 nature walk with no particular difficulty, suitable for families.

A pleasant walk alternating between riverbanks, shaded paths and open trails.

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

The route is in the commune of Aslonnes, between the Jardin du Prieuré de Laverré, the springs and the dolmen. With this route mapped out on Visorando, you will often be off the beaten track, so there are no signposts.

I suggest a short, easy walk through woods and valleys. This walk is suitable for everyone, provided you wear suitable footwear. Please do take care when crossing roads.

This is a fun little hike to discover Poitiers through its monuments. The duration and distance of your route will vary depending on how curious you are. Feel free to leave the initial route temporarily to explore a monument and then resume your walk. If you are curious, the walk can be much longer. Note that a bus line (2A or 2B) will take you back to your starting point and destination.
