Discover Lusignan
Lusignan is a French village that seems to be plucked from a fairy tale, a stopover filled with legend on the Route of Tours. The locality is the cradle of the House of Lusignan and the famous legend of the half-woman, half-snake fairy Melusina. Its past of splendor is visible in the imposing ruins of its castle, which was one of France's greatest strongholds. For the pilgrim, it is an evocative and peaceful stopover. Its wooden-framed houses and Romanesque church complete a charming ensemble. It is a place to dream of medieval legends and enjoy the peace of French countryside.
