Tournon-Saint-Martin

Located on the right bank of the Creuse River where three historical regions meet: Poitou, Berry, and Touraine, Tournon-Saint-Martin spans across 25.82 square kilometers.

During Roman times, the settlement developed at a strategic crossroads where major routes connected Argentomagus to Poitiers and Tours along the Creuse River.

The Church of Saint-Martin stands as a testament to the passage of Saint Martin of Tours through this area, now commemorated by a dedicated walking trail.

The municipality maintains various facilities including a dojo, gymnasium, schools, and a campsite, while offering water activities such as canoeing on the Creuse River.

Until the 19th century, wooden rafts from the Massif Central floated down the Creuse River through Tournon-Saint-Martin to supply shipyards in Nantes.
