Angles Sur L Anglin – Vienne Tourist Information
Angles sur l’Anglin is listed as one of the most beautiful villages of France (Les Plus Beaux Villages de France), and also achieved a 3 flower rating as part of the Ville Fleurie accreditation. The village is renowned for its fortress, built in 1025 and sited 50m above the river on a cliff. The fortress is a ruin and has been so since the 17thcentury, but it is now a protected monument although open to the public. The trench pathway ‘La Tranchee des Anglais’ leads down the hill from the fortress to the St Pierre Church, a 12th-century structure affording superb views over the valley. The village is full of interesting architecture, such as the 12th century St Croix Church on the opposite side of the river, and L’Arceau, an archway, and cellars previously used as salt warehouses, with Spanish ‘Sarragosse’ influenced design.
The village is now also famous for the discovery in 1948 of the Roc aux Sorciers. This archaeological site houses a 20m long sculpted and painted artwork, estimated to be between 14-15,000 years old. The site itself cannot be visited, but there is a Centre d’Interpretation which offers exhibitions, and two separate means of viewing the piece. One a digital reproduction, and the other a molding of the work that people can touch.
There are a number of annual events held in the village, including Artisanales Medievale, a street festival held in July with musicians, dancers, and street animations. In August there is the Pyromelodique Spectacle, with a funfair, evening entertainment and fireworks over the fortress. Also in August is the Concours de Peche (annual fishing competition). In June is the Guinguette Au Bord de l’Eau, an open-air Moules and Frites night with orchestra and dancing.
