The town of Tusson is rich in a unique historical heritage. The four tumulus of Tusson date from the fifth century BC and have the particularity of being aligned. These prehistoric monuments made up of one or more blocks of stone and earth were then raised above certain graves. Those of Tusson are among the largest in Europe. The priory and its monastic garden are also worth a look and take you back in time. In addition, gourmets can sit at one of the restaurants or tea rooms in the town to enhance their break.

Verteuil Castle is a historic monument in Verteuil-sur-Charente. It dates back to 1080. It was here that François VI de la Rochefoucauld (French writer) wrote his Maxims.

This isolated church was built in the 8th century and is a good example of Romanesque architecture. After partially collapsing in the 18th century, it was restored in 1907 after being listed as a historical monument in 1903.

Although you cannot visit this chateau (it is privately owned by the La Rochefoucauld family) it provides a wonderful backdrop to the village and is truly a sight to behold from the river.

The early 12th century church has all but disappeared, itself and the reconstructions have suffered from the military conflicts that have punctuated the centuries. You enter through an open portal in a facade which very well announces the architectural juxtapositions. These last give a particular charm to the building by their inconsistencies. They arouse curiosity and ultimately offer the visitor a certain degree of privacy. An organ with the original story has been installed. It is the ultimate work of Ivan Peychès (1906-1978), a genius scientific researcher but also a visual artist, musician and composer. Brilliant innovator in the field of applied sciences, he will build this instrument in his living room in ten years during his retirement.

Possibility to have a good time on the banks of the vienne where you can find a canoe kayak base. The village also allows you to refuel.
