Situated between the valleys of the Creuse and Gartempe rivers, on the borders of the Poitou, Touraine and Berry regions, the municipality of d'Angles-sur-l'Anglin has been listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France" since 1982, and is the only one in the Vienne département (86).
Le medieval village was built on a rocky spur between the river and the plateau. While the houses and streets of the town are picturesquely intertwined in the upper town, the fortress dominates the lower town.

The Lascaux of sculpture...
The Roc-aux-Sorciers site dates back 15,000 years, and the sculpted frieze is a veritable jewel of prehistory. It reveals the world of Cro-Magnon man. Discovered in 1927, you can now discover its reproduction and its interpretation centre.
02
The fortress of Angles-sur-l'Anglin...
Over 40 metres above the waters of the Anglin, the impressive fortress of Angles has stood for almost a thousand years. Standing proudly on its rocky promontory, it still seems to defend the town today. The majestic ruins and unique atmosphere of its tormented life remain today... So we invite you to a much quieter visit, in the superb setting of the Vienne's most beautiful village, Angles sur l'Anglin.
