Loudun is situated 25 minutes south of the medieval town of Chinon and 15 minutes west of the walled, historic town of Richelieu. Loudun, itself, has had a varied and often chequered history. At the crossroads of three provinces: Poitou, Anjou and Touraine, it found itself at the very heart of many political and religious conflicts up to the 17th century. Today, The old medieval town strives to conserve its natural and architectural riches by restoring them and transforming them into cultural places such as the Collegiate Church of St. Croix. The “donjon”, an observation and defence post, still stands on the hill on which the town was established with commanding views over the surrounding countryside. The town has bars, restaurants and all the other amenities you need including a twice-weekly market, cinema and swimming pool complex.
