Gratentour

While strolling in the streets of Gratentour, you will discover a magnificent architecture typical of the region, based on red brick. You will particularly note the old town hall which housed a school in the 19th century and which now houses the municipal media library, or the Sainte-Quitterie church. Rebuilt at the end of the 16th century following the wars of religion, it has undergone several restoration campaigns over the centuries.

Also be sure to admire the castle in the Place de la Mairie, a building flanked by two square towers crowned by a balustrade and with brick architecture typical of the decorative repertoire of the 18th century.

The weekly market is held every Saturday morning on the Town Hall Square.

The local festival takes place every year at the beginning of June with fun fair, ball, fireworks and other entertainment for young and old.

Concerts are organized in June on the occasion of the Fête de la Musique.

A festival of Urban Cultures takes place in September.
