Tronget: Church, Walking Trail and Ponds

Tronget is suited to travellers who want to include architectural history, walking and time by the water in their plans. Another option is cycling along the rural roads of the Bourbonnais-Bocage. The highlights differ: one church combines an older section with a design dating from the 20th century, a walking trail passes through three municipalities, and the ponds each have distinct features. If you are looking for hotels in Tronget, you can compare these differences to decide which interests you want to shape your stay.

Church and Place de l'Église

The older part of the Église Saint-Maurice-et-Saint-Vincent dates from the 12th century. The church and the square in front of it acquired their present appearance in 1907. The dates refer to different aspects: the century applies to the older section of the church, while 1907 refers to the present appearance of the church and square. This makes it possible to consider the building's history in more detail rather than reducing the entire building to a single construction date.

The Place de l'Église in front of the church is also the starting point of the Circuit des Trois Clochers. This brings together the architectural interest of the church and the start of the walk at a named location. If you plan to explore both, you can use the church square as a shared point of reference.

Walking through three municipalities

The Circuit des Trois Clochers is an easy-rated walking trail, 11 kilometres long. It passes through Tronget, Le Montet and Rocles. When planning your outing, the distance, difficulty rating and municipalities along the way are all relevant. The route is not confined to Tronget; it also passes through the two other municipalities named. These details help you gauge the scope of your walking plans.

Ponds and activities by the water

La Prise d'eau is Tronget's second municipal pond and offers fishing. Fishing is permitted on the banks with either an annual or a day permit. So planning involves not only the opportunity to fish but also choosing between the two types of permit. The pond is a specific option if you would like to set aside time for fishing during your stay.

Plan d'eau du Verger offers a different experience. It covers four hectares; the pond is home to carp, tench, roach and pike. Around the water there is a children's playground, a small sports ground and a designated picnic area. Its features therefore include both the surface area and the fish species found there, as well as facilities for play and picnics. This makes it possible to include different activities around the pond in your plans for the day.

Cycling in the Bourbonnais-Bocage

Evasion dans le Bocage offers rides along the rural roads of the Bourbonnais-Bocage on electric or non-electric bicycles. The provider can suggest routes on request. So if you are looking for a route idea, this advice is available on request. Electric assistance is a key difference when choosing between the bicycle types. Evasion dans le Bocage also offers quad bike hire. Cycling and quad bike hire provide a different focus for activities than the Circuit des Trois Clochers, which is designated as a walking trail.
