JARDIN DES PLANTES TECHNIQUES DE CHAUVIGNY
86300 Chauvigny


From the feudal period Chauvigny has preserved its five fortified castles. Perched atop rocky outcrops, they monitor the Poitiers-Lyons axis. In the heart of the medieval town, next to Saint Pierre collegiate church, the space for Industrial Archeology and the Museum of Folk Traditions highlight the ethnological aspects and industrial traditions of the region of Chauvigny. Witnesses of the past, these plants used for technical and dyeing purposes decorate a small garden along the walls of the museum which tells the story of their use during the Middle Ages.
