森の奥深くにひっそりと佇む小さなお城。この見事なアーチが素晴らしい入り口を飾っています。領地にもう少し入って建物の壮大さを発見できないのが残念です。興味を持ったら、ぜひ立ち寄ってみてください!! 😝

The "Filles de Bressuire," monumental sculptural works by Franck Ayroles, adorn the Bressuire train station square. Installed in 2021, they welcome travelers as an artistic nod to the city.

Dating from the 15th century, this manor house in VieuxBeaurepaire, listed as a Historic Monument, is distinguished by successive constructions integrated into older buildings. It is particularly famous for having sheltered Abbot Pierre Proust during the Vendée Wars, who took refuge there to escape deportation and continue to keep the parish registers of Terves.

The old Clécé train station marks a stop on the old railway line converted into a greenway. The disused building, with its simple lines and exposed timbers, is a perfect resting spot for a break.

It is from Place de la Solidarité, near the village hall, and in the light of a sunny afternoon, that visitors can best admire Courlay's church, firmly anchored on a hilltop, built in the middle of the village. It is squat and austere, like a fortress, a half-Gothic, half-Romanesque building whose square bell tower dominates the surrounding houses. Crossing the square, created on the site of the former cemetery relocated in 1900 and now adorned with a beautiful fountain where water cascades over granite chirons, note: the square bell tower with two small bays on each side (11th and 12th centuries); to the east, the large wall of the church's apse; on the north facade, a small rectangular tower resting on the bell tower and housing the stone staircase providing access to the bells; on the south facade, the turret topped with a slate pinnacle, the modillions of the cornice, a small door at the top of a few steps, and the Romanesque portal or main gate.

The church was built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It was embellished in the 19th century in a flamboyant Gothic style and equipped with rich furnishings and stained glass windows.

Small, quiet castle, a little hidden away!!
