Trail des Potiers 2027

At the Trail des Potiers, you come for the nature… and you leave with a bit of earth under your shoes: only normal—around here, life moves to the rhythm of workshops and the paths of La Chapelle-des-Pots 🌿.

The setting is Charente-Maritime in forest mode, with winding trails, stretches that smell wonderfully of humus, and that little “chic countryside” vibe that makes you forget everyday life 🥾.

You choose your recipe: 10 km to treat yourself without having to be coaxed, or 21 km for a great getaway that tastes like adventure… and you don’t have to be a potter to enjoy it when things twist a little in the undergrowth! 😉

What’s great here is the atmosphere: a human-sized village, volunteers who take great care of you, and a race that blends nature and forest with no fuss—just enough challenge to make you smile at the finish 🏁.

And after the effort, stick around: pop over to Saintes for a stroll by the Arch of Germanicus and the quays, head on to the Abbaye aux Dames for a timeless break, or go get some fresh air at the Paléosite de Saint-Césaire for a visit that’s a change of pace 🏛️.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, you can also plan a relaxed walk along the Charente in Saintes, or simply treat yourself to a drink on a terrace while replaying the race… in “I nailed it” mode—almost without lying 😄.
