Tips from the Community

Fred Urrutia
September 2, 2025, Voie verte le long de l'ancienne voie ferrée Melle-Celle

The Ruban Vert greenway follows the old Niort–Ruffec railway line, offering an accessible loop between Melle and Celles-sur-Belle, over approximately 9km of stabilized sand. The path winds through countryside, stone walls, shaded bridges and wooded passages, with a picnic area near the Chaillots pond. Accessible to cyclists, hikers and horse riders.

Javarzay Castle, the most imposing of its time in Deux-Sèvres, was originally made up of 12 towers, two of which remain today.

The Royal Abbey of Celles-sur-Belle dates from the 11th century and was an important stopover for pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela. During the period of the French Revolution, the abbey was sold as national property and used as a place of detention during the Vendée wars.
