Saint-Martin and the Boucle Bosgueroise give Bosgouet two distinct travel highlights: the church brings together building phases from the 13th to the 19th century, while the circular walk is listed as 8.95 km and an average of 2 hours and 45 minutes. If you are considering a stay, you can choose between architectural history and a walking excursion. For the walk, it is important to check trail conditions before setting out.
The Church of Saint-Martin
The parish church of Saint-Martin stands in the village of Bosgouet. Its grounds include a cemetery and a monumental cross. The choir dates from the second half of the 13th century; the buttresses date from the 14th century. The nave and bell tower were built by Georges Simon from 1866 to 1867. This makes it possible to clearly distinguish the medieval building elements from those dating to the 19th century.
Renovation of the village church
In its June 2025 community bulletin, the municipality reported on renovations to the village church in Bosgouet. Among other work, the lightning protection system was repaired. The interior lighting was replaced with 13 spotlights; the clock hands and timer were also repaired. The bells and Angelus ringing were also brought back into operation. The work therefore covered both technical installations and bell ringing.
Châteaux and building history
The Château d’Autonne was built in the first half of the 17th century; several windows were altered in the 18th century. The present-day château in the village of Bosgouet dates from the second half of the 19th century. An older château and its outbuildings are recorded on the 1826 cadastral map. Taken together, these details provide several historical markers: the construction of the Château d’Autonne, the later alterations to its windows, and the map record of an older château. This helps distinguish the construction period, later changes and historical documentation.
Walking the Boucle Bosgueroise
The Boucle Bosgueroise is an 8.95 km circular walking route. Its average duration is 2 hours and 45 minutes; it is rated easy and returns to the starting point. The route begins in the center of Bosgouet and heads towards the ForĂŞt Domaniale de la Londe state forest. Its length, stated duration and return to the starting point help you plan the route as a separate focus for your stay.
There are time-specific reports about accessibility: a user report dated December 10, 2025, stated that the second part was no longer accessible. On September 20, 2024, the section between points 7 and 8 was described as impassable at that time. Check current trail conditions before setting out.
