Park, beach and riverside café on the Vienne

Highlight • Other

Parc de Crémault, with a small beach, a very nice guinguette and a campsite on the banks of the Vienne, very quiet and really inexpensive. The landlady is also super nice. Quiet and nice stopover. Not far away, there is a pretty suspension bridge, which is being completely renovated.
