Parking in Chauvigny (except Saturday morning) is generally not a problem.
In the lower town, the fairground square in the centre can accommodate hundreds of cars. Be careful, on Saturday morning, the day of the big market, the car park is not accessible so take your precautions.
In the medieval town, out of tourist season, you can easily park your car in rue Saint-Pierre, place du vieux-march\u00e9, place des ch\u00e2taigniers or in the large public car park at the end of rue St-Pierre.
During the months of July and August, the medieval town is normally closed to cars (with a terminal at the entrance) and the only solution is then the parking de Bretagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the season, you cannot drive around the medieval city, so remember to park your car in the available car parks (see above).
If you are parked in the medieval town car park, you are a 5-minute walk from the centre.
If you are parked in the lower town, during the months of July\/August, you can take the free shuttle bus into the town centre which will drop you off at the Ch\u00e2teau des Ev\u00eaques or Place du Donjon. Finally, the easiest way is on foot. It takes 7 to 8 minutes to reach the center of the medieval city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the medieval town, the shortest route to the lower town is as follows:
Head towards the Bishops’ Castle (the one that houses the Eagles’ show). Below the small square, you go down the rue du Crime (you then pass under a small wooden bridge). At the end of this alley, there are two solutions: the rue des Trois-rois on your right will lead you to the town centre, the street on your left will lead you to the public garden or to the \u00ab\u00a0Bon coin Paysan\u00a0\u00bb shop (local products).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are none in the medieval city, you will have to go to the lower town where you will find several in the main street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no food shops in the medieval town, so head for the lower town where you will find a grocery (\u00ab\u00a0carrefour Market\u00a0\u00bb) on the main street (opposite the Notre-Dame church), open every day. There are three bakeries but beware, on Mondays they are all closed. At weekends, think of the Bon Coin paysan (shop of local producers on the route de Saint-Savin, west of the town).
For big shopping, there are three supermarkets at the exit of Chauvigny (you will need a car) : a \u00ab\u00a0Leclerc\u00a0\u00bb and a \u00ab\u00a0Super-U\u00a0\u00bb on the road to Poitiers and an \u00ab\u00a0Intermarch\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb Zone du Peuron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
