Whether it's for hiking or a mountain bike or even cycling circuit, don't hesitate, be careful, there are hilly parts outside the forest, and long non-wooded distances. Bring a bottle of water and a hat!

A very pleasant picnic and swimming spot. The tavern is there to eat (in season, check)

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.
