Discover Chasseneuil

Chasseneuil offers several specific points of interest to help you plan your trip: the Bouzanteuil and its wetland habitats, the “Le long du Bouzanteuil” walking trail, Saint Martin Church and the annual Jazz’neuil summer event. These cover topics ranging from wildlife and landscapes to architectural history and a seasonal cultural event. When planning a stay, you can weigh nature, a walk, history and events as distinct reasons for choosing the destination. Nature and the walking trail offer opportunities to experience the landscape, the church provides a glimpse of architectural history, and Jazz’neuil is a recurring summer event.

The Bouzanteuil and its wetland habitats

The Bouzanteuil is known for fishing and is classified as a first-category watercourse. Its banks are well preserved and form a biodiversity reserve in wetland habitats. They also serve as a migration corridor and refuge for mammals and birds. Several interests therefore converge around this watercourse: fishing, wetland habitats and observing animal movements. If fishing is part of your plans, bear in mind that local conditions may vary. For nature enthusiasts, the emphasis is instead on the banks as a habitat and as a corridor for wildlife.

Walking trail and landscape

The “Le long du Bouzanteuil” walking trail follows shaded paths and stretches of water, and passes through groups of trees and cultivated fields. Along the route, you’ll encounter water, shaded paths and open, agricultural landscapes. The walk combines views of the watercourse with other landscape features; it is not limited to the banks alone.

Saint Martin Church

Saint Martin Church was probably built around 1600. The present nave may have been a simple barn used for worship; the church did not receive a bell tower until the 17th century. This brings together an approximate date of construction, a possible original function for the nave and a later addition. If you’re interested in historic buildings, you’ll find several aspects of architectural history here: the church’s dating, the possible interpretation of the nave and the later construction phase of the bell tower.

Jazz’neuil in summer

Jazz’neuil takes place every summer in Chasseneuil; the dates vary from year to year. If the event is a key reason for your trip, check the dates for that year’s edition in advance. This will help you include the summer event in your travel plans.
