The Chemin de Ligugé, which has been awarded the “Council of Europe Cultural Route” label, allows you to walk in the footsteps of one of the most illustrious figures ever to have lived in the Vienne: Saint Martin, who founded the first abbey in the West at Ligugé, near Poitiers, in 361.
He was one of the first great European travellers, and became a universal figure thanks to his acts of charity towards the poor. During your 170km journey, between Ligugé and Candes-Saint-Martin (37), discover the heritage linked to episodes in Saint-Martin’s history, such as at Ligugé, the abbey he founded. The route crosses the Loudunais region from Roiffé to Monts-sur-Guesnes, with a variant going back up to Richelieu and a loop going as far as Ranton. The Pays Loudunais reveals itself to you along this route. Discover all the richness of the region.
