This abbey, also called Notre-Dame and Saint Benoît, is a former Benedictine abbey. The imposing square tower at the entrance served as a warehouse for valuables. Upon entering, you discover beautiful gardens. Its origin dates back to Carolingian times. It reached its peak during the 11th and 12th centuries. Guided tours are organized in summer.

21 meters high, the Resistance Memorial overlooks the forests where the region's maquis were established. This place of memory has a crypt in which lie the bodies of the main leaders of the Charentais maquis. The National Necropolis extends around the Memorial over more than 2 ha. 2,026 resistance fighters or soldiers from the Second World War are buried there.

The little (or big) brother of Lac de Lavaud. The communes of Massignac and Lésignac are watching over him!

A marvel of calm to discover between Massignac and Lesignac-Durand. I particularly recommend this spot, the impression of being far from everything, in a green setting with gentle hills.

A beautiful place to pay tribute to the fighters of our region. I recommend stopping there and visiting the alcove in which Mr. Bonnier is buried
