An imposing sight within this small village, the abbey is easy to find. Built in the 11th century, this abbey was only finally completed in 1170 by Eleanor of Aquitaine. If you are interested in Roman architecture, visit the local museum to learn about the origins of this abbey.

Dolmens of Grosse Pérotte and Petite Pérotte in Fontenille

Highlight • Monument

The dolmen of Petite Pérotte and its neighbor of Grosse Pérotte belonged to a vast group of funerary monuments dating from the Neolithic period (4500 to 4000 years BC)
Its table, that is to say the enormous stone resting on vertical pillars, weighs about 40 tonnes and comes from a cliff on the banks of the Charente 4 or 5 km away ... In the Neolithic period, the dolmen was not visible: it is covered with a stone and earth construction called a tumulus.
A covered corridor allows entry into the burial chamber. The excavations and then the restorations carried out in 2012 and 2013 made it possible to materialize on the ground the influence of this circular tumulus, the corridor and a secondary chamber under a stone table now resting directly on the ground.
