[FR] Tout commence à Richelieu, en Touraine. Cette ville qui porte le nom de son créateur, le fameux cardinal de Richelieu.

Les anciennes gares, aujourd’hui restaurées par la Communauté de communes, jalonnent le parcours. A quelques coups de pédale de la voie, le château du Rivau et les villages de Ligré et Champigny-sur-Veude, sont des étapes patrimoniales incontournables. Côté nature, la Voie verte longe l’étang d’Assay (ENS) et traverse de sublimes paysages de vignes. Pour apprendre, s’amuser et se reposer… posez pied à terre lors des cinq stations thématiques qui jalonnent le parcours. La voie verte se termine à Chinon où la forteresse royale surplombe majestueusement la Vienne.

Bonne balade !

[EN] It all starts in Richelieu, in Touraine. This city bears the name of its creator, the famous cardinal of Richelieu.

The old stations, now restored by the Community of Communes, mark out the route. A few pedal strokes away from the route, the castle of Rivau and the villages of Ligré and Champigny-sur-Veude, are unavoidable heritage stops. On the nature side, the Voie Verte runs along the Assay pond (ENS) and through sublime vineyard landscapes. To learn, to have fun and to rest... put your feet down at the five thematic stations along the way. The greenway ends in Chinon where the royal fortress majestically overlooks the Vienne River.

Have a nice walk!
