Hiking and landscape

The Saumort has carved a deeply incised valley into schist rock, which is partly greenish and sericitic and partly traversed by quartz veins. In La Chapelle-Thireuil, the Broumisses, a tributary of the Vendée, and the Saumort flow into the Autize.

The landscape along the Autize near La Chapelle-Thireuil is hilly and characterized by several watermills.

Culture and history

The Église Saint-Étienne de La Chapelle-Thireuil has very good acoustics. During a guided tour of the church, its history, architecture, and special features were presented.

The washhouse next to the church can be viewed. The “Terroir de France” cooperative dairy, founded in December 1912, produced only butter and collected cream from 200 members.
