In Our Area

 A spellbinding journey into the 1900s ... Prepare for a journey back in time, to the era of shops and small trades, through an exhibition of over 1000m2. Thousands of advertising objects and full-scale reconstructed shops await you in an old 20th-century warehouse of four levels, with Eiffel-style architecture. During the visit, count on average 1H-1H30, walking the aisles of the museum, you will be immersed in the time when the advertisement appeared, before the opening of the first supermarkets and before the consumer society we know today. So many shops, universes, smells, atmospheres that have today changed or completely disappeared from our daily lives, but not from our memories ...

 Founded at the end of the 11th century and saved from further ruin by a recent restoration program, this priory is one of the most peculiar and interesting due to the quality and uniqueness of Romanesque architecture in the Charente area.  To see : the Romanesque chancel with stained-glass windows of Richard Texier and Kim En Joong, chapter house with ribbed vaulting, undercroft, dorters, cellar, refectory decorated with murals, medieval garden. Modern art exhibition all around the year. Discovery tour, tour booklet, abbaye scale model , video enable you enjoying the visit. Paper chases for children (3-12 yars old) : included with the entrance fee.
