The Roc-aux-Sorciers and the Forteresse d’Angles: from Prehistory to the Middle Ages!

Le Roc-aux-Sorciers, prehistoric art at your fingertips

Less than an hour from Poitiers, head to Roc-aux-Sorciers! No wizards here, but a real prehistoric treasure: a gigantic 20m-long sculpted frieze and its lifelike replica! Discovered over 70 years ago, it's actually over 15 years old! Imagine: the largest sculpted frieze in Europe, making it an absolutely unique masterpiece that is now nicknamed "the Lascaux of sculpture." 

Enthusiasts and the curious will find something for everyone. Sit down in front of a 3D reconstructed rock and let yourself be carried away by an immersive film, a true dive into prehistory! Young and old alike can even touch the replica of the frieze to feel the outlines of bison, horses, and other animals. It's the perfect opportunity to ask yourself as a family: what if we were prehistoric artists? 

Storm the Fortress!

A few steps away stands the Fortress of Angles, A site steeped in history dating back to the 12th century. It rises 40m above the Anglin Valley, offering a breathtaking panorama! You'll be amazed!

Proudly standing on its rocky promontory, the Fortress hosts the Medieval Festival of the Fortress every year, during which the ruins come back to life! This visit is a true open-air adventure: visit the ruins, discover the dungeons, and why not imagine a life as a princess and knight with dragons and witches!
