On the doorstep of the Saumurois, in Bournand, Circuit de Loudun La Boule d'Or stretches 1,150 metres of outdoor track in the Loudunais area, in the Vienne. The site sits in a typical tuffeau countryside in the Poitou-Anjou transition, halfway between Loudun and Saumur. Set away from main roads, it enjoys an open feel and a more club-like atmosphere than commercial karting venues: frequented by drivers who train regularly and come looking for a technical layout.
With its 1,150 metres, the outdoor layout offers a real driving track: straights long enough to push speeds and technical sequences that demand precision and a clean reading of lines. It's a format that speaks to experienced drivers chasing lap times, but the site stays accessible to beginners thanks to gentler kart classes and karts suited to younger riders for family outings. With sessions starting at 22 euros, the price is fair for a track of this length. The site regularly hosts stag and hen parties, corporate events and racing meetings.
Bournand is 30 minutes from Saumur, 25 minutes from Loudun and 45 minutes from Poitiers. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: Loire châteaux (Saumur, Brézé), the Cadre Noir cavalry school, Fontevraud abbey, the Saumurois troglodyte sites, or a detour to Chinon and the Vienne valley for heritage fans. A solid pick to combine motorsport and tourism in the Poitou-Anjou transition.
