Aux sources de la Boutonne - Chef-Boutonne

Water is the rhythm of your visit, prompting you to question its origins: reach, discharge canal, natural riverbed.
From the reaches of the Boutonne to the Château de Javarzay, this walk and discovery evolves between the valley and the heights of Chef-Boutonne's historic center.

Parking and departure from Château de Javarzay.

Initiated in the 2000s, the walks and discoveries are now managed by the Mellois en Poitou community of communes, in collaboration with the local communes. To date, there are 50 of these itineraries, ranging from 1 to 16 km, enabling families, cyclists and experienced walkers to explore the region and discover its many facets (landscapes, small-scale heritage, etc.).
