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.
