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.

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 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.

The dolmen of Petite Pérotte and its neighbor of Grosse Pérotte belonged to a vast group of funerary monuments dating from the Neolithic period (4500 to 4000 years BC) Its table, that is to say the enormous stone resting on vertical pillars, weighs about 40 tonnes and comes from a cliff on the banks of the Charente 4 or 5 km away ... In the Neolithic period, the dolmen was not visible: it is covered with a stone and earth construction called a tumulus. A covered corridor allows entry into the burial chamber. The excavations and then the restorations carried out in 2012 and 2013 made it possible to materialize on the ground the influence of this circular tumulus, the corridor and a secondary chamber under a stone table now resting directly on the ground.
