About the location

Site de Peyrassoulat

Peyrassoulat, 87600 Chéronnac

Haute-Vienne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In the meanders of Peyrassoulat are hidden treasures. The Peyrassoulat site is classified as a Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest, thanks to 3 hybrid plane trees from the West and a plane tree from the East, and 4 yew trees whose branches form a remarkable vegetal arch. One of the plane trees is classified, with 40 m wingspan and 6 m circumference. The property is that of an old forge, whose activity ceased in 1920\. It supplied steel to the navy of Ruelle in the Charente.
The remains of these ruins emerge in the middle of an abundant vegetation, nourished by the river Tardoire which flows below. It is in what was once a garden that were planted plane trees and yew trees, about 500 years ago. Forgotten, they made themselves comfortable and spread out to the delight of the visitor and form a magnificent plant theatre.
