Chauvigny is located {{Convert|20|mi|km|0}} east of Poitiers by rail. The town is situated overlooking the Vienne River and a small brook. Chauvigny is twinned with Billericay in Essex, England. The composer Fernand Lamy (1881–1966) was born in Chauvigny. SightsChauvigny features two interesting Romanesque churches, both restored in the 19th century. There are also ruins of a château of the bishops of Poitiers, and of several other strongholds.[1] Near Chauvigny is the curious bone-cavern of Jioux, the entrance to which is fortified by large blocks of stone.[1] EconomyAs of 1911, the town carried on lime-burning and plaster-manufacture, and there were stone quarries in the vicinity. Trade was in wool and feathers.[1] See also
