Which route to take to get to your seminar at the Fontdouce Adventure Park when leaving Poitiers?
To get to Fontdouce from Poitiers, the fastest route is to take the A10 motorway towards Saintes and Bordeaux. Then take exit 34 at St Jean d’Angély, towards Cognac, and continue towards Cognac, turning left at St Hilaire de Villefranche and continuing until you reach Brizambourg. In the center of Brizambourg, follow the signs for St Bris des Bois on the right and drive to St Bris des Bois. Once there, turn left towards Burie and after 3 km, you will see the Fontdouce Adventure Park sign on your left.
Turn onto the country road on the left and after 200 meters you will arrive at the Fontdouce Adventure Park car park on your right; this route from Poitiers takes about 1 hour 30 minutes.
To do this, take the old Roman road, the one that connected Limonum (Poitiers) to Mediolanum Santonum (Saintes), an almost straight line between Poitiers and Saintes. You’ll start on this road leaving Poitiers on the RN10 towards Angoulême and take the D611 after Fontaine-le-Comte, heading towards Lusignan. This straight road will take you through Melle, Aulnay, and Varaize, then you’ll reach a junction with the D731 (the road connecting Niort to Cognac); turn towards Brizambourg, travel approximately 2 km, and in the center of Brizambourg, turn right towards Saint-Bris-des-Bois.
Once in St Bris des Bois, turn left towards Burie and continue for 3 km, you will then see the sign for the Fontdouce Adventure Park on your left.
Take the small local road indicated by the sign, go 200 meters and you will arrive at the Fontdouce parking lot, which you will see on the right. This journey from Poitiers takes approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes.
How to reach the reception area of the Fontdouce Adventure Park from the car park:
You’re parked, head to the reception area of the Fontdouce Adventure Park, located on the opposite side of the valley. Walk down from the parking lot towards Fontdouce Abbey, then turn left to cross the road you arrived on. The reception area will then appear on the hillside just before the treetop adventure course. Everyone is ready, the seminar is about to begin!
