Vicq-Sur-Nahon: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Vicq-sur-Nahon can be explored along signposted routes covering very different distances: three short circular hiking trails in the municipality are 6, 15 and 28 kilometres long. The 90-kilometre Benjamin Rabier discovery trail, which is officially recognised as a GR® de Pays, also passes through Vicq-sur-Nahon.

On the way

The municipality offers two trails with reduced accessibility barriers, measuring 3.5 and 6.3 kilometres, which start at the stadium; a map is available at the town hall. There is also a signposted cycling route through the town: the 52-kilometre circular cycle route “Le Goût du Valençay” runs through Vicq-sur-Nahon.

The “Le Goût du Valençay” circular cycle route brings the region’s cheese heritage and gastronomic diversity to life through the producers based along the route, and highlights the two AOC/AOP wines as well as Valençay cheese.
