Le Vigen: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
The Church of Saint-Mathurin is a Romanesque church dating from the 11th and 12th centuries.
Its western façade has a portal without a tympanum with five semicircular archivolts, a cornice resting on sculpted corbels, and two levels of coupled windows.
The church also houses a painted wooden statue from the 17th century, identified as Saint Mathurin, the parish's patron saint. It was registered as a protected historic object on 12 January 1976.
Those who have Saint-Mathurin, the Briance Valley, and Parc Zoo du Reynou in Le Vigen on their itinerary will want to rent a holiday apartment.
Nature
The Briance Valley is a popular area for walking and fishing.
The Briance Valley is home to 26 fish species and 16 dragonfly species.
Markets and the Annual Cycle
The weekly Marché du Vigen takes place on Place de la Briance. Local producers offer fruit, vegetables, cheese, fish, and seafood there.
Le Vigen's traditional Christmas market takes place every year on the first Saturday in December.
Experiences
Parc Zoo du Reynou showcases more than 250 animal and plant species.
The Château du Reynou is currently used as a zoo.
The park of Château du Reynou was designed at the end of the 19th century as a site with three promenades, probably by landscape gardener André Laurent.
The park of Château du Reynou was partially classified as a historic monument by a decree dated 6 November 1995.
With “Soigneur d’un jour”, participants spend four hours accompanied by an animal keeper, gain behind-the-scenes insights into the zoo, and experience the daily work of this profession.
With “Safari Expédition”, visitors travel through the park in an eight-seater vehicle. Three routes lead through the animal habitats and offer strategic stopping points for observing the animals.
