Quinçay: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Quinçay is shaped by the Auxance: the river crosses the town over a distance of approximately 12 kilometres from west to east. The southern part of Quinçay is covered by 700 hectares of the Vouillé-Saint-Hilaire state forest. In Quinçay, the Auxance is considered a first-category river and is overlooked in places by steep slopes.
For planning your own trip, the wish to rent a holiday apartment in Quinçay can be combined with an interest in the Auxance landscape, circular routes and historic buildings.
Circular Routes
Several circular routes lead through the town's landscape. The Circuit de la vallée de L’Auxance is listed as taking 4 hours and 30 minutes. The Grand Circuit de la Vallée de l’Auxance is a circular walking route that starts and ends in Quinçay. The Circuit des Roches is 5 kilometres long and is listed as taking 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The Circuit des Roches leads through the Auxance valley between the cereal plain on the left bank and a landscape characterised by mixed farming on the right bank. It also passes Château Gaillard, a former winery dating from the 17th century.
Culture and History
Fort de Senneret is a fortified camp, the remains of which are partially visible. At Château de Masseuil, two towers of the 15th-century fortifications have been preserved; they are listed in the inventory of historic monuments. The Église Saint-Eleusippe contains a 16th-century tomb slab. Its door was entered in the register of historic monuments by decree of 17 June 1926.
Logis du Pré Bernard is a residential building from the 17th century in the Louis XIII style, with wood panelling and fireplaces, classified as a historic monument.
Visits
Château de Masseuil can only be visited by prior appointment as part of a guided tour. Logis du Pré Bernard is designated for self-guided visits.
