The Thouet River lies approx 300 metres from the site and is a haven for both wildlife and fishermen. There is a 3/4 kilometre stretch of water with pontoons for the disabled, where it is possible to fish for pike, perch, zander, roach, bream, black bass, minnow, carp and trout, to name but a few. There are also wonderful walks along the river banks, through woodland and meadows, where you will find a diverse variety of wild flowers, butterflies and dragonflies. Look out for kingfishers and otters, not forgetting the montagues, hen harriers and buzzards as they patrol the skies above. It is also possible to explore the river by canoe - the Airvault Office de Tourisme organises escorted trips in July and August. More info on www.valleeduthouet.fr.
