Our Scavenger Hunts in Thouars will not only have you exploring the city but also learning a lot about its eventful history and rich culture. Did you know that the name Thouars comes from "Tudae arx" (Citadel over the Thouet)? Or that Pepin the Short and Charlemagne destroyed the Gallo-Roman town in 762? During the Hundred Years' War, Thouars frequently switched between English and French control until Bertrand du Guesclin captured the town for France in 1372. During the Wars of Religion, Thouars was a stronghold of Protestantism but lost much of its population after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
Another highlight is the Château de Thouars, built in the 17th century as the seat of the Dukes of La Trémoille. Today, it houses a college and offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's noble past. And let's not forget the culinary delights of the region that you can discover during your Scavenger Hunt in Thouars. Be sure to sample the local wines from the Anjou wine region and enjoy the delicious regional dishes.
