Our campsites in the Vienne

Natural curiosities!
 

Explore La Vallée des Singes, where 450 primates live in complete liberty, including the only group of bonobos in France.

Or savour the thrill of coming face-to-face with the largest reptile in the world at Planète Crocodiles: 1 tonne in weight and 8 metres long!

If you are looking for something calmer, the 12-hectare parc de la Belle is the perfect spot for an idle stroll and for your children to play, in the midst of its collections of ancient plants and trees.
 

A magical voyage into the past

The church of Notre-Dame-la-Grande in Poitiers is an essential highlight of your trip to the city, which is audio-guided thanks to a free application. The architectural heritage in the Vienne is very rich and will fascinate both young and old.

Sights worth seeing include Saint-Savin Abbey, the medieval town of Chauvigny and the castels of Harcourt and Touffou.

• Delicacies: the local guest stars are goat’s cheeses, such as “Chabichou”, with its mild, creamy taste, and the “Bûche du Poitou”, which has a hazelnut flavour.

Another delicacy, grown on limestone clay soil and harvested by hand, is the Haut-Poitou melon, a star ingredient in any aperitif.
