La Grande Buée

Moncontour

2km

In Moncontour in 1569, the Catholic forces of King Charles IX, under the command of the Duc d’Anjou, were preparing for battle against Protestant troops led by Gaspard de Coligny. On the eve of this historic battle, the admiral went to the inn that has since been named after him. There, he fine-tunes his battle plan in the company of his generals, before the confrontation scheduled for first light.

For great ills, great remedies

Loudun

3km

With Renaudot, we discover an eventful history in the 17th century that Renaudot wrote about in the Gazette: Protestantism, the possessed women of Loudun, the Loudunais who left for New France; he’s also a surprisingly contemporary figure with all his creations that are still talked about today in terms of both social and cultural life (Prix Renaudot).

Curçay-sur-Dive
