Guide of the Vienne

Travel Guide > France > Poitou-Charentes > Vienne > Montmorillon

Montmorillon, known as the "City of Writing and Book Professions", is a charming town pleasantly located on both sides of the River Gartempe. It is a popular destination thanks to its pretty river banks, Gothic bridge, old houses, monuments like the 12th-century Octagon and Notre-Dame church with its Sainte-Catherine crypt which contains magnificent frescoes, and the medieval district of Brouard where bookshops and craft workshops abound.

The town hosts a book fair every June on even years, and a writing and image fair in the same month in odd years.
