Parthenay, the medieval city

Highlight • Other

Discover this medieval town little known to visitors on the Cholet-Poitiers axis. Its medieval castle, its rue Saint Jacques, its shops, its river with its greenway of 135 km of cycle paths.

View of the Parthenay citadel

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you feel safe inside the citadel, you will be equally impressed by the view from the outside. It looks impregnable and probably was hundreds of years ago.
