Tusson

Highlight • Other

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.
