バルベジエールでののおすすめグラベルライド

Here you are in the Tusson and Villejesus forest. This is classified as a natural area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. The oaks are very present. By taking the time to silently observe the nature around you, you may come across some animal species. Many raptors find refuge there.

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.

The medieval gardens of the Abbey of St. Gall have been recreated there. Using ancient documents to trace and plant with precision, it consists of four separate gardens within the walled garden: an herb garden, a scent garden, a vegetable patch and an orchard.

Located in the archpriest of Ambérac, diocese of Angoulême, the conventual priory of Notre-Dame de Lanville, founded at an unknown date, was attached around 1120 to the rule of the canons regular of Saint Augustine. It will remain conventual until its suppression in 1791. The buildings were largely in ruins in 1632 and the difficulties becoming greater and greater, the priory was united with the abbey of Sainte-Geneviève du Mont. The visit reports of 1636 and 1672 indicate that major work was carried out to raise the priory in the second half of the 17th century. The buildings located to the south of the church could be the lodgings of the prior or the chaplain. They include a main building for residential use, flanked by two north and south wings constituting the outbuildings, arranged around a closed courtyard. The partly modern north wing has retained some openings characteristic of the 14th and 15th centuries. A long vaulted cellar of a broken cradle develops under the entire length of this wing. The south wing has semicircular openings alternating with small rectangular bays, no doubt from the 17th century. The rectangular main building opens, to the west, onto a terrace overlooking a pool spanned by a bridge-staircase. The house itself is built on a long barrel-shaped cellar with a basket handle. The church was fortified in the 15th century. In its primitive state, its nave was covered with three domes which collapsed and were replaced, in the 15th century, by ribbed vaults. In 1904, the presence of a channeled stream having weakened the foundations of the building, the facade collapsed.
