September 2, 2025, Sculptures de femmes et de vélos à la gare de Bressuire

The "Filles de Bressuire," monumental sculptural works by Franck Ayroles, adorn the Bressuire train station square. Installed in 2021, they welcome travelers as an artistic nod to the city.

This old quartzite quarry was active until 1953. Beautiful rock walls dominate the quarries, now redeveloped into a bucolic body of water.

The stream of the same name flows into this pretty little body of water. A very pleasant path runs along part of it while the Étruyère campsite is located on the banks opposite.

October 16, 2023, Château de Bressuire

Bressuire Castle is a medieval ruin dating from the 10th century and having belonged to the Beaumont family. You can discover the 700 meter long enclosure and its 38 towers, admire the romantic remains of the 15th century dwelling and enjoy the view of the chapel and the old slaughterhouse from the esplanade. The castle also hosts temporary exhibitions, sculpture symposia and treasure hunts in summer.

The ruins of Bressuire Castle, which dates back to the 9th century and is open to the public. Just beyond the bridge, there is a beautiful greenway and very large lawns that are the perfect place for a picnic at the foot of the castle.

Magnificent ruins of the fortified castle which can be seen from afar with its toothless silhouette. Its origin dates back to the 11th century, and it was one of the strongholds of Poitou. Decorated with works of art and entertainment, the estate can be visited freely.
