Tips from the Community

Prahecq, a small rural village a few kilometers southeast of Niort, can be discovered by taking the "Le Ruban Vert" greenway, a converted former railway line. The stop around the Château de la Voûte offers a pleasant break amidst agricultural landscapes, before continuing on to Melle or Niort. This area is home to the Saint-Maixent church and wine-growing remains.

The Ruban Vert greenway follows the old Niort–Ruffec railway line, offering an accessible loop between Melle and Celles-sur-Belle, over approximately 9km of stabilized sand. The path winds through countryside, stone walls, shaded bridges and wooded passages, with a picnic area near the Chaillots pond. Accessible to cyclists, hikers and horse riders.

The mill dates from the 1480s. The last miller to actively use the mill was in 1928, after which it was no longer in use. Today it has been renovated and can be rented for events, weddings and the like.

A small town of character stretching along the Belle River. The famous 12th-century abbey is a cultural hotspot hosting exhibitions and festivals. The town has also been awarded the "Ville en poésie" (Poetry City) label, and you'll certainly have the opportunity to read a few poems during your stroll!
