Nestled in the hollow of a valley, Airvault will charm the medievalist traveller. It is one of the great cradles of the Plantagenet style in Poitou. Picturesque alleys leading to the powerful old castle, the church of Saint-Pierre and its exceptional collection of Romanesque capitals, the bridges of Soulièvres (14th century) and Vernay (12th century) are among the wonders to be discovered by taking the paths of Aldéarde, named after the viscountess of Thouars and founder of the abbey (11th century). The city is also, since 1949, the stronghold of the Voltaire family and of Ciments Calcia: its cement factory regularly welcomes the public. On the GR36 and the Vélo Francette.
