La Ligne Verte


The Green Line - “Sylvain Chavanel”

A unique ride on foot, on horseback or by bike?
You have 40 km of green slopes. To guide you, numerous information and discovery panels have been installed throughout the 37 km of developed track. You will learn how the uncle of the Tsar of Russia, Generals Joffre and Gallieni gave notoriety to this line. You will discover the titanic work carried out by the rail workers to break through the Poitevin region and the railway heritage inherited from this golden age. You will know everything about the miracle of seeds and their free transport, about the reconquest of space by nature; you will surprise the hare, the woodpecker or the badger who have come to take refuge in this green den. You will pick blackberries, nuts and cherries depending on the season, and you will test your knowledge using an original fun terminal process.
