Chauvigny is a beautiful old city, on the river Gartempe. It has a spectacular set of ruins perched on a rock with panoramic views across the countryside. From here, there are daily exhibitions of bird flight - eagles soaring above, vultures, owls, parrots - even kookaburras - all perfectly trained and shown at an amphitheatre in the ruined castle. In the city itself, there are shops and restaurants and a market twice a week. Also a velo-rail: a 2 hour trip of 17 kms through pretty countryside.

A medieval town, with the ruins of 5 chateaux still visible on the hilltop, Very pretty and worth visiting for the views, the narrow streets as well as a daily show "The Giants of the Skies" featuring large birds such as eagles, vultures, falcons, etc. There is also a velo-rail much enjoyed by families
