Le Girouard

Highlight • Other

Located off the main thoroughfares, this picturesque little village has managed to preserve its built heritage.
And in particular the Château Gaillard (built in the 19th century), a neo-medieval construction desired by Abbé Rouillon. This brick and granite monument was actually his presbytery: it is now the property of the town hall, which has chosen to install the post office and a library there.

Grand Bouillac Dolmen

Highlight • Other

Also called "Palet de Gargantua". The hazardous restoration carried out between 1901 and 1905 does not make it possible to specify the type of dolmen to which this specimen is related. According to writings dating from 1862, it was accompanied by three overturned menhirs about 50 m south and east of the dolmen. Two of them were straightened for a while then they fell a little later before disappearing in the 1969 land consolidation.
According to tradition, the dolmen is a puck of Gargantua that fell here while the giant was playing skittles over the Bouillac valley.
The dolmen is said to hide a set of golden balls which in vain fueled the greed of treasure seekers at the beginning of the 20th century.

It's like that in every town here. The World War II memorial stands next to the church, which usually has a colorful door.
