Bressuire is located to the west in the middle of France, near the sea. This is about a huge administrative center of the department "Deux-Sèvres". There are about 20 000 inhabitants if you include the villages around.
Bressuire
The
second largest town in Deux-Sèvres, Bressuire has a long trading
tradition with a lot of small traditional industries. Most of the
monuments date from the 19th
century.
The
castle
The
castle was built on a rocky promontory. It dominates the town and the
valley of the river named the Dolo. In the Middle Age it was one of
the main military site in the Poitou province. Its history is linked
to the Beaumont family. The castle was built in stages, with a first
perimeter wall dating from 11th
century and a second, including 38 towers, from the 13th
century. Temporary exhibitions are held every year. Two years ago, in
june, Bressuire has been the center for the World
Highland Games Championships.
The
chapel Saint Cyprien
The
foundation of this chapel in the 10th
century lies at the origins of Bressuire. It was given to the
Saint-Cyprien abbey in Poitiers in 1028. The crypt is supported by a
single central pillar and you can admire frescoes.

Dame church

and 16th
century)
The

surrounding countryside.
