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.

Bressuire Castle is a medieval ruin dating from the 10th century and having belonged to the Beaumont family. You can discover the 700 meter long enclosure and its 38 towers, admire the romantic remains of the 15th century dwelling and enjoy the view of the chapel and the old slaughterhouse from the esplanade. The castle also hosts temporary exhibitions, sculpture symposia and treasure hunts in summer.

Natural waterfalls are rather rare in this region. This one is remarkable in its incredibly preserved green setting.

This artificial Natura 2000 lake was built in 1969. Its serpentine curve surrounded by woods and hills makes for a very relaxing walk.

Small bridge that allows you to cross the Thouet and join a small dirt road, very pleasant by bike. A few steps to climb and potentially slippery in winter!

Superb dyke on the Thouet. Attention it is impossible to cross it in case of flood!
