The Rochecorbon tavern is located facing the Loire, in a most natural setting. From its terraces, the panoramic view of the wild Loire is breathtaking.

Considered one of the largest taverns in France, its restaurants, bars and dance halls welcome the public every day from the beginning of May to the end of September. In a friendly, family atmosphere, don’t hesitate to stop there for a cold drink or a hearty meal.

La Brenne at Chançay

Highlight • River

In the Center region, department of Indre et Loire, in the commune of Chançay, the Brenne river follows its course for several kilometers, thus crossing the territory.

On its outskirts, old small heritage sites such as wash houses, as well as old mills, today mostly private properties, line the banks.

In the past, the waters of the Brenne powered nearly thirty water mills, each with their own specificities, but most of them have now disappeared.

The few buildings still existing, precious testimonies of past artisanal activity, are today visible during walking tours.

We will mention in particular the Moulin du Bourg, located near the municipal school, the Moulin à Foulon, and the Moulin Neuf.

Greenway of the Pays de Vouvray

Highlight • Cycleway

Very pleasant and little frequented by pedestrians ... except on Sundays. Be careful in winter, the access bridge over the Brenne from Vernou is sometimes flooded.
