A beautiful castle that can be visited. The friendly owner gave us a tour. There's a good infrastructure for cyclists, including a well-equipped workshop. All free of charge or in exchange for donations.

Javarzay Castle, the most imposing of its time in Deux-Sèvres, was originally made up of 12 towers, two of which remain today.

Founded in the 11th century Benedictine priory of Melle belonged to about 50 km away abbey Saint-Jean-d'Angély (also highly recommended!). The former priory church St-Hilaire is a consistently richly decorated pilgrimage church. Together with the church buildings of Notre-Dame-la-Grande in Poitiers (60 km) and St-Pierre d'Aulnay (30 km), it is one of the highlights of Romanesque architecture in southwestern France. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St-Hilaire_(Melle)
