Oradour-sur-Glane was a pretty village that was completely destroyed by the Germans in June 1944 and 642 innocent men, women and children were massacred. The ruins of the village have been preserved exactly as they were and it is a sad reminder of the futility of war. Well worth a visit. Go via Confolens, an attractive town situated on the river Vienne.

While visiting Confolens take time out for a bit of exercise and at the same time enjoy the countryside by boarding the rail-bike. It is a machine with four wheels and pedals designed for travel on a railway. It can accommodate 5 passengers, 2 of whom pedal while the others relax and enjoy the view! Sounds like fun!
