Bonnes

Bonnes covers 34.35 square kilometers in the Vienne department, crossed by the Vienne river for approximately 8 kilometers and composed of numerous hamlets scattered across a territory of rolling plains and wooded areas.

The first documented mention of Bonnes dates back to 1173 in a charter of the Abbey of l'Étoile, then it appears in 1309 in the cartulary of the bishopric of Poitiers under the Latin name Capellanus de Bonis.

The 12th-century Saint-André church, rebuilt after an 18th-century earthquake, houses a 1668 holy water font and ancient coats of arms of the noble Montléon and Chasteigner families in its side chapel.

The town hall located at Place Jean-Baptiste Guiot welcomes the public mainly in early morning and midweek, with presence also on Saturday mornings according to new schedules adapted to residents' needs.

The Trait hillside, classified as an ecological zone of interest, shelters rare plant species like Müller's Epipactis and the dark red Epipactis, the latter being protected at the national level.
