  • Niort - Les sentiers de Sainte-Pezenne

In the 4th century, Pezenne, a young nun pursued by a barbarian leader, came to die, exhausted, in a cave. It is claimed that Clovis, after 507, contributed with his donations to the erection of a sanctuary on the tomb of the saint. The primitive church, built on the site of a temple dedicated to Thor, was rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries. The commune, whose church is listed, merged with Niort in 1965. The district has now become an experimental site for the accessibility of public spaces for the disabled.

Have a nice walk and remember that you are not alone on the paths you are going to take. We invite you to respect nature: avoid picking flowers and plants, do not leave any rubbish behind, respect inhabited areas, stay on the paths, keep dogs on a lead.
