Discover Le Vigeant: Motorsport, Culture and Nature

Le Vigeant offers several distinct themes to help you plan your trip: the Circuit du Val de Vienne, with car and motorcycle activities and a driving school; Saint-Georges Church, with its architectural history; and Parc de l'Envol and the “Histoires d'eaux” interpretive trail, each offering different outdoor experiences. La Maison des Arts adds an opportunity to visit without a guided tour. If you are looking for a hotel in Le Vigeant, you can choose the focus of your trip based on these highlights: motorsport, history or time outdoors.

Motorsport at the Circuit du Val de Vienne

The Circuit du Val de Vienne is located in Le Vigeant and is approved by the FIA and the FFM. Sporting car and motorcycle activities take place there more than 250 days a year; the annual number of days may vary. The circuit also has a driving school where you can learn to drive on the track year-round. Availability at the driving school may vary, so it is worth checking for current information if you want to include driving on the track in your travel plans. The circuit therefore offers two distinct reasons to visit: an interest in sporting activities involving cars or motorcycles, and the opportunity to learn to drive on the track yourself.

Saint-Georges Church: Architectural History and Finds

Saint-Georges Church dates from the 11th and 12th centuries. Its bell tower above the entrance portal is the oldest part of the church. The church also contains the sculpted tomb of an anonymous knight. Fragments of old frescoes were uncovered when the church walls were cleaned in 1974 and 1975. These dates refer to the cleaning and uncovering, not to when the frescoes were created. This distinguishes the age of the church from the much later discovery.

Parc de l'Envol and the Interpretive Trail

Parc de l'Envol is next to the Viaduc de L'Isle-Jourdain. The park has zip lines; the children's play area includes a zip line, a slide, a climbing wall and a play stream. The “Histoires d'eaux” interpretive trail passes through a natural landscape shaped by water, is open to everyone and has no particular difficulties. The two outdoor destinations offer different experiences: Parc de l'Envol is defined by its specific play equipment, while the interpretive trail focuses on water and the natural landscape.

La Maison des Arts and Planning Your Visit

La Maison des Arts can be visited without a guided tour. It is recommended that you call before your visit. As visitor arrangements may change, calling is a good idea if you plan to include a visit in your itinerary.
