France is well-known for its history and medieval sites. But if you’re looking for a road less traveled, head west to Nouvelle-Aquitaine and into Vienne. There, you’ll find the small commune of Loudun. It has plenty of ruins, some of which date back to the 11th century. Loudun also made waves hundreds of years ago, when a series of possessions and witch trials occurred in the town in the 17th century.
Today, Loudun is the picture of a quaint French town. Local monuments you should see include Tour Carrée, the only remnant of a larger fortress. At Musée Charbonneau-Lassay, you’ll find exhibits showcasing Loudun and even African art.
You can also head to Loudun just to relax. The following top Airbnb vacation rentals in Loudun, France, are perfect for chill getaways.
