Mosnac – Romanesque Church and the Seugne

When choosing a stay in Mosnac, you can consider several interests separately: the Romanesque Église Saint-Saturnin, the fishing stretch along the Seugne and the Les Bords de Seugne campsite. Other specific activities include riding lessons and rides at the Domaine équestre de Favières, as well as the Circuit VTT N°3 – À la rencontre de la Seugne. These topics give you different criteria for planning your trip: a landmark, type of accommodation, access to the fishing stretch and the time required for an activity.

Romanesque architecture at the Église Saint-Saturnin

The Église Saint-Saturnin is predominantly Romanesque. Its façade has a distinct rhythm of arcades characteristic of the Saintonge region. Inside, Romanesque capitals depicting griffins and lions can be found in the choir and in the bay beneath the bell tower. This means the church can be viewed on two architectural levels: the façade’s design on the outside and the figurative details of the capitals inside. On 19 March 1990, the church was classified as a historic monument of France by decree. This date adds a specific historical reference to its architectural features.

Campsite and river access

The Les Bords de Seugne campsite has direct access to the Seugne River. It offers pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents, as well as two fully equipped mobile homes. This gives you a choice of different types of accommodation: you can first decide whether you prefer a pitch for your vehicle or tent, or one of the mobile homes. If you plan to book a particular type of pitch or one of the two mobile homes, confirm availability before booking.

Fishing stretch along the Seugne

The fishing stretch on the Seugne in Mosnac is considered fairly unspoilt and rich in fish. Its features include the confluences of the Seugne with the Trèfle and the Maine. Access is also important when planning: the main arm of the fishing stretch can only be reached via the unpaved road from Clion. If you plan to visit this main arm specifically, take the described route into account when preparing.

Horse-riding activities and VTT route

The Domaine équestre de Favières offers riding lessons and rides by the hour. For longer outings, there are full-day or half-day riding tours. For very young children, the offer includes guided walks with Shetland ponies. The different formats vary in activity and duration. If you plan to book a specific riding activity, confirm availability before booking.

The Circuit VTT N°3 – À la rencontre de la Seugne is 34.4 kilometres long and takes approximately three hours. Check the route conditions before setting off. If you are weighing activities by the time they take, you can compare the approximately three hours for the VTT route with the hourly rides and the half-day and full-day tours.
