Undergrowth, fields, banks of the Vienne, ramparts of Touffou, arboretum... There is plenty of variety on this pleasant little route, which is best done in dry weather.

This hiking route in fairly hilly terrain allows you to discover the Cougnat fountain and wash house, family cemeteries, the Paradis fountain and wash house, remarkable "talles", the Perrière fountain and its pond, the Chagnasses woods, the Garennerie fountain and the Savrelle wash house fountain. This hike highlights a geological fault that runs from Saint-Maixent to Lezay, separating the Mellois plateau from a collapse trench where the Sèvre Niortaise river flows.

A very pleasant walk in the woods starting from the Lac du Lambon car park. The circuit runs alongside the Lambon before leading to an old mill where there is a stone bridge to cross the river. The climb then continues along the ruins of the old village of Jean Migault, leading to the path taken on the way there, which you follow to return to the car park.

A lovely, varied route under pleasant trees, interspersed with views of the countryside. Take the time to observe the local heritage. Coussay-les-Bois is unusual in that it has two churches a few metres apart, one of which has a twisted bell tower.
