Chauvigny is a city of art and a unique site of its kind, thanks to its 5 castles perched on a promontory overlooking the Vienne. Its St. Pierre collegiate church (12th century) is a model of Romanesque art, and its keep offers a magnificent panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. As the birthplace of porcelain in Poitou-Charente, Chauvigny is renowned for the quality of this craftsmanship.
