Cussay: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens is a 19th-century Neo-Romanesque church. It replaced an older church built in the 9th or 10th century and restored in 1664. The choir windows were created and signed by the stained-glass artist Lobin in 1869. The church also contains a restored baptismal font dating from the 10th to the 12th century.

The Pré Carré washhouse is a restored structure from the beginning of the 20th century and is located near a spring. The Faucoude washhouse was converted into a watercress-growing facility. A bread oven from the La Brangerie farm was also built next to the Pré Carré washhouse.

This bread oven is used every year at the Fête du pain at the end of August.

Those planning a stay in Cussay may wish to rent a holiday apartment for this purpose.
