The Chizé forest, a Natura 2000 site, is part of the much larger Aulnay-Chizé massif. It is a great place to run in the forest and take a forest bath.

The mill dates from the 1480s. The last miller to actively use the mill was in 1928, after which it was no longer in use. Today it has been renovated and can be rented for events, weddings and the like.

The Chizé forest, a Natura 2000 site, is part of the much larger Aulnay-Chizé massif. It is not only an ideal place to walk in the forest and take a forest bath, but also the Center for Biological Studies of Chizé, installed in a former military camp, and Zoodyssée, a tourist and educational scientific center with animations , twilight walks, exhibitions and a museum.

This church was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Petrus (rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andreas - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisherman of men". According to the Catholic understanding he is the highest apostle, and the two millennia long line of popes - currently Francis - are in his successor. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always shown with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you will bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you will loosen on earth will be loosened in heaven ”(Chapter 16, verse 19). Together with Paul, Peter is also known as the "princes of the apostles", their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.
