Very rural and wooded area, Dampierre-sur-Boutonne is a quiet little town to cross. The 15th century castle and the Asinerie du Baudet du Poitou are particularly impressive!

The mill dates from the 1480s. The last miller to actively use the mill was in 1928, after which it was no longer in use. Today it has been renovated and can be rented for events, weddings and the like.

Saint-Romans-lès-Melle is a French commune, which leads three scallops in the coat of arms. The most important sight is the 12th-century church of Saint-Romans. It is a charming 12th century church off the village in a cool valley. Note the south orientation of the apse. The apse is designed in a straight line with three windows without ornamentation. A squat bell tower (15th century) completes the building. The overview of the northwestern church allows you to see the heart of the building: the western portal crowned by a strip of modillons. The southern part of the door shows an interesting composition: a lion that stretches both on the wall as well holding on to a basket next to an oval human mask carved on the same basket. http://jalladeauj.fr/melle/page9/page9.html
