Pressigny: Holiday apartments and houses

Pressigny lies in the midst of a green, wooded valley.

Those who choose Pressigny for their stay may wish to rent a holiday apartment.

Nature

A viewpoint offers panoramic views of the Ruisseau des Échasses valley. The “Entre plaines et vallons” circular trail is 7.3 km long and begins at the Place de l’Église in Pressigny.

In the Bas-Bourg valley stands a lavoir à impluvium: a washhouse with a roof sloping inward to collect rainwater. A picnic table is provided at the washhouse in the Bas-Bourg valley for resting and eating.

Culture

The Sainte-Madeleine Church was built around 1870. A granite cross has been preserved in the hamlet of Jarsay.
