Bridiers Tower

Highlight • Castle

In the 12th century, a tower was built on this site. But not the one you see today, it was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. What happened to the first tower? According to a written chronicle dating from 1202, it collapsed!

It is the Bridiers Tower which makes this site famous. Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the site had a defensive function. It has been the subject of conservation since 1993 and excavations. These made it possible to discover the pentagonal fortress located at the foot of the tower.

There is no guided tour, but access to the site is free. Climbing the tower is organized by the municipality and requires a modest payment of two euros.

Étang du Cheix

Highlight • Lake

Étang du Cheix: a hidden haven just outside La Souterraine. Small, quiet, and perfect for a short, relaxing walk surrounded by sparkling water and forest.
