BOUCLE VÉLO LA VALLÉE DE L'AUTIZE

Starting from the Renaissance château square in Coulonges-sur-l'Autize, you'll pass through a number of villages and localities: Saint-Maixent-de-Beugné, the Puy-Hardy lake and the Sainte-Anne fountain, which women used to come and drink from to promote lactation. In the center of the Pouzay dovecote, with its 2,700 niches, you'll admire a remarkable oak tree. The last stop is the La Roche railway bridge, built around 1867 and disused 100 years later (former Niort-Angers line).
