Sports and leisure activities Champdeniers

One of the flagship clubs of the Deux-Sèvres, Hope Pétanquaise participates in numerous meetings and competitions always in the right mood. It must be said that Champdeniers has been boules to allow his team to reach the summits! Bowls classes are offered on Wednesday evening to small and large, younger and old alike. And then it's a great way to get your friends to the next aperitif before you start the barbecue!

This is the game of the summer, the game of the summer, that of the aperitif with the friends, it smells like straw hats and barbecue, and we almost forget that it's a sport. The 79 committee is a reference in the region for organising competitions and training. Whether it's for the bowls or for the Provençal game, the site is full of all the necessary information, especially the regulations of each game, because the techniques and characteristics are more numerous than we imagine, it is not just a question of taking the Marseille accent by launching its ball!

It's a world of its own that you'll discover here, starting almost crawling and continuing upright. In this subterranean world, as you wander through the galleries and majestic chambers, you'll discover its incredible river, its history and a few pitfalls, depending on your level. You'll need to be accompanied by a local caving club if you're not an FFS member: the route varies in length (from 1 km) and, for the more adventurous, includes a 30 m abseil in total darkness. Looking for thrills and adventure? Go for it!

You walk through the land of the Clochard apple. You will discover the town of Champdeniers, cross the Egray valley, a tributary of the Sèvre, then enter the Arpentérault wood (private, in La Chapelle-Bâton). You stop at Verruyes (laze on the pretty beach of its pond) to finish at the golf course of Mazières. Other routes are available on www.champdeniers.fr. It will also be possible to reach Parthenay via the GR 36, or the section of the Vélofrancette.
