Pretty pass on the river, with the bell tower of Saint-Pierre abbey. The commune of Preuilly-sur-Claise has several archaeological sites. The archaeological site of Picardy is an open-air site, discovered in the 1980s, located on the left bank of the Claise, on a plateau.

This museum is one of the richest devoted to prehistory, in a region where there are many traces of ancient occupation, for example at the Musée d'Angle sur l'Anglin. Ha sorry I just saw that someone had left another more detailed notice with slightly different GPS coordinates ...

The Grand Pressigny, its museum and its castle, is a high place of prehistory. The quality of the flint is such in this town that the site has been used since time immemorial by man to extract the large flint blades from their cores. These cores (which are in fact the remains of the extraction) have raised so many questions, because they were found everywhere in the surrounding fields without understanding their meanings. The locals have nicknamed them "pounds of Butter" sic! They are sometimes found on the walls of houses in the village, like kinds of talismans. You will learn all this by visiting the museum which is exciting. In front of the museum esplanade, are the remains of the Château du Grand Pressigny as well as statues of animals from prehistoric times (such as the megaceros) which are quite realistic.
