There’s a car park with toilet (portaloo) opposite the chateau entrance. There were several friendly staff or volunteers in the ticket office, and they spoke excellent English. The chateau was left to fall into ruin after a fire in the 1930’s and it is now being rescued by an enthusiastic group. It’s extraordinarily beautiful, and the plans for restoration are particularly innovative - rather than faithfully returning it to former splendour they are working hard to conserve the trees and plants that have colonised the chateau. You will be mostly outside so it’s best to visit on a dry day. There’s some walking involved so wear practical shoes, it’s all fairly flat and easy to navigate. It’s not a large site so you can easily see it all in about 2 hours. Utterly beautiful, well worth a visit, I will certainly go back next time I’m in that area to see how they are getting on with the restoration.

3. Church of Notre Dame la Grande

Reviewed By Derek-simpcar - Farnham, United Kingdom
To see a medieval church still with its interior decoration in tact is so unusual it produces a real wow factor. It reminds us that was what the majority of churches were like before subsequent generations painted them over or demolished them. It’s a truly beautiful survivor that shouldn’t be missed

5. La Vallee des Singes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,328 reviews
“La Vallée des Singes”, the unique wildlife park dedicated to primates was founded in 1998. It is a place of amusement and knowledge promoting ecological awareness. Since its creation, the main objective of the park is to contribute in protection of nature, environment and primates. La Vallée des Singes offers to its visitors a unique experience through a full immersion into the fascinating world of primates. This wildlife park is 100% different; there are no cages, no fences but 450 monkeys freely living on a wide area of 22 hectares. Here, visitors are the ones who have the privilege to enter the monkeys’ territory. You have the possibility to observe the little monkeys with only a few steps away from you, as well as the great apes on their island.

Such a wonderful place being so close to the monkeys. Some are in enclosures, but they all looked happy and healthy. The place is vast. It's a great place for all ages and so worth a visit.

8. Abbey of Saint-Savin
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
The Abbey of Saint Savin sur Gartempe added to the UNESCO world heritage list for its exceptional 12th Century mural paintings which are the biggest in Europe. The Abbey of Saint Savin is a "must-see" for anyone wanting to discover Romanesque Poitou. Kids and adults will share together an unic trip through the history, using tablets (contents translated in 8 languages).
Reviewed By perhaps - Rockville, United States
St. Savin Abbey is a beautiful, well-restored abbey located in St. German. The 11 century Abbey has tablets for providing information when walking and browsing, and they have it in writing, but not talking! in English. For once I didn’t feel neglected in France! The tickets are 10 Euros. After spending about 2,1/2 hours visiting the cathedral, two stories of different exhibitions and watching 15 minutes of the movie on the third floor amphitheater, we headed back to LRP, stopping on the way (in the rain) to see the old 11 century fortress at the city of Angle sur anglis. The view is gorgeous.
