Adapt it to your interests and check opening times and show schedules before setting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Start with the G\u00e9ants du Ciel bird show or a ride on the V\u00e9lo-rail rail bikes. On a hot day, you will appreciate an early start. For the V\u00e9lo-rail, park on site. For the bird show, use Parking de Bretagne or park in the lower town and walk uphill for about seven to eight minutes. A shuttle also operates in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Visit Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019Harcourt on your way into the medieval town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Stop for lunch at one of Chauvigny\u2019s restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Climb the Donjon de Gouzon for views over the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Explore Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a gem of Romanesque art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Depending on the programme, enjoy a performance at La Grange aux Loups, the G\u00e9ants du Ciel show or a V\u00e9lo-rail ride if you missed it earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Take a break with an artisan ice cream, a waffle or a homemade cr\u00eape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leclouchauvigny.com\">Le Clou<\/a>, a community and cultural venue in a beautiful 17th-century building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. Browse the local craft shops and wander through the medieval lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. Head home with tired feet and plenty of good memories!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you spending the day at Chauvigny?
