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 White Stone dolmen was erected between 4,500 and 4,000 BC, approximately 6,000 years ago. It is located in the axis of the four tumulus of Tusson. However, the dolmen is no longer topped by its tumulus.

This small town, known for the forecourt of its Saint-André church, is a stopover town on the road from Paris to Spain between Poitiers and Angoulême.

Javarzay Castle, the most imposing of its time in Deux-Sèvres, was originally made up of 12 towers, two of which remain today.

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.

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.
