From the Hundred Years' War, there remain the "beautiful" elevations of land with large ditches, which were fortified points. These feudal mounds (wooden fortresses dominating a flattened area) made it possible to dominate the region from any attack. Today, a very beautiful orientation table (work of Juliette and Jacques Damville) offers one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Boutonnière! (Orientation table 5 on the Route des Paysages) Designed in ceramic, copper and lead, it evokes both the defensive tower with its loopholes and a crown decorated with set enamels. The seven traditional planets, represented by seven colored spheres, punctuate the upper plane of the panorama and stand out against the sky. The general spiral shape of the table is there to emphasize the constant link between the past and the present: the spiral starts from a medieval representation of the sky and ends at the half-spherical cap, a contemporary astronomical evocation of the Messier 51 galaxy.
