The most beautiful parks and gardens Poitou-Charentes

In the city of Loudun take good time by walking around the ramparts of the old fortress. Close to the castle, stroll through a little break on the trails surrounding them. The Coot Nerra promenade will ease you by discovering beautiful corners, flowering with its plants on the bottom sides of the paths, and you can observe and learn the history of the castle that rises above your head. 

A long sea snake of niortais urbanism, the Place of the Breach fully regained its nobility in 2013. It has returned to the central point of the city's life. A fair return of things for the one that was the heart of the city for many centuries. As a result of fairs, rallies and demonstrations, the Brèche had also succumbed to car rule. Becoming a vast and charming parking lot, the place had lost all its attraction… except for motorists! In January 2006, the first rounds of pelle launched the vast shipyard expected. Work that the Niortais have been desperate to see one day end. The facilities of a cinema and an underground car park were far from returning to the morale of the city centre. Because it had to wait again. In spring 2013, the promised green lung took shape. Yolk! Trees, lawns, children's games and water mirror have become realities. For the delight of the Niortais happy to take possession of this former urban verrue. The bottom part of the square is now a huge playground, roof. End of work! Place for idleness and games.

Commonly known as the "Public Garden" by the Châtelleraudais, the square Gambetta, created in 1874 and recently remodeled, has the particularity of having one of the rare monuments of the French Revolution, built in 1890 for the centenary celebration. Cut in two by the road, the garden houses, in its second part, an immutable and charming neogothic manor house of 1898 which is the old house of the guard and is ignored by the modern frenzy. Its wood-paneled façade comes from an old century house. Tree lovers will have noticed the bicentenary high of 35 meters and whose circumference reaches 8.30 meters!
