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 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.

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.

Of the castle of Montignac, located in the town of Montignac-Charente, in Charente, only the keep remains. It is built on a terrace overlooking the Charente. Of the enclosure, there remains the gate with portcullis with two round towers at the top of an escarpment, the western part of the enclosure and a round tower.
