Bois de Thouars

Park

With its 60 ha, of which 30 are wooded, the Thouars woods are home to a varied flora and fauna. A botanical trail allows you to discover these environments through a 4 km marked trail. The wood is now listed as a Classified Woodland and a natural area of national interest. It is located in the natural domain of the Atlantic Oak grove of plain and hill, where the pedunculated Oak grove dominates. Several species are rare or protected: the Tauzin Oak, the Bird's Nest Neottie and the Marsh Hottonie for the plants and the Fishing Seaman, the Pipistrelle and the Plum Pique for the animals. The Thouars Wood is also a refuge area for common wildlife.
