3 reviews of Chauvigny

The city of the 5 castles

The 5 castles rise Chauvigny are on on a rocky crag under the gaze of raptors flying over the ruins . It is a medieval village with a charm and houses whose walls reflect the passage of time. There ivy and moss everywhere. Between NAS recommended Chauvigny visits, is the deñ Baron Castle (constructed by the bishops of Poitiers in the 11th century), Harcourt Castle, the Church of St. Pierre, the Tower of Homage of Gouzon, the Museum of Traditions Popular and Archaeology, the church of Notre-Dame or Touffou Castle. The shadows of naked Chauvigny castles, huge in their structures and shapes dominate this city famous for its porcelain.

Its history is also connected to the extraction of fine-grained limestone and the stone Chauvigny. If the porcelain decorates the tables of the best restaurants, with the limestone, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum were constructed in limestone.

Eperon médiéval

Excellent
La vieille ville de Chauvigny occupe un site remarquable : éperon naturel dont on a une vue panoramique depuis la route qui vient de Saint Savin. Donjon, ruines de château-fort et église romane constituent un ensemble architectural qui fait remonter au Moyen Age. L'attrait touristique, dans cette région du Futuroscope, a été mis en valeur. Des artisans occupent la partie haute de la ville. Démonstration de vol de fauconnerie, musée ... Ambiance, ambiance .. et les touristes empruntent les passages voutés.
