Go green in South Touraine

The Greenway in the South Touraine is a 26 mile safe, easy itinerary surrounded by unspoilt countryside.

Start your trip in Descartes, the village where René Descartes, the famous French philosopher, was born, then follow the Claise Valley down to Tournon-Saint-Pierre. Whether on foot or bicycle, for a day (or more) immerse yourself in nature and charming villages.

This trail, along a former railway track, is reserved exclusively for cyclists and walkers. It weaves its way through 8 villages that boast extensive architectural and natural heritage: Descartes, Abilly, Le Grand-Pressigny, Chaumussay, Boussay, Preuilly-sur-Claise, Bossay-sur-Claise and Tournon-Saint-Pierre.

This Greenway, perfectly positioned  between the Creuse and Claise valleys, is either directly connected to Loire à Vélo (Loire by Bike), Cyclo Bohème, Saint-Jacques à Vélo (Santiago de Compostela by Bike) and the Scandibérique. In 2026, the Greenway will include a new national bikeway from Chinon, in Touraine, to Argenton-sur-Creuse, in Berry.
