Thouars

Built around a fortified spur above the Thouet River, Thouars grew into a historic town in northern Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The river curves around much of the old centre, where remnants of medieval ramparts and narrow streets retain the settlement’s defensive character. The Château des ducs de La Trémoïlle, an imposing 17th-century residence, recalls the influence of the La Trémoïlle family, which held the viscountcy of Thouars for centuries. Thouars stands in the rural Thouarsais area, in the northern part of the former province of Poitou. Browse additional webcams from the Thouarsais to extend your view of northern Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
