Description

  1. The village of Panzoult 
    The church dedicated to St. Vincent, with its 11th-century façade, 12th-century bell tower, 13th-century choir, and 16th-century nave. The curious sundial on the south façade of the 17th-century pavilion adjoining the village hall (decipher it if you can).

  2. The recreation area 
    Fishing, games, tennis, "boules" (game played with metal balls), but above all, the starting point of the trails.
