The town of Ruffec has preserved a remarkable Romanesque church, the Saint-André church, with a carved facade illustrating the Ascension theme. After the visit of the building, walkers can wander up and down the narrow streets of the old town and discover the charming banks of the Lien river, the lavoir (communal laundry washing place), the mill and the remains of the ancient castle.
