Seyches, un circuit dans les bois des Rivailles
Pass under the town hall and discover the Rivailles woods, home to a large number of doves. This hike is not recommended during the hunting season, in October and November.
Originally, the fortified town of Seyches had four town gates. Today, only one of them remains, the former tower of the medieval castle. Remodeled in the 17th century, it serves as a bell tower for the church of Seyches. This tower is built of ashlar. Covered with a flat tile roof, it has the architectural characteristics of this type of building. It is pierced by two levels of semi-circular bays, containing the bells. The access door to the tower is built into the wall connecting the tower to the church. A straight wooden staircase leads to the first floor where two doors open onto a passageway that linked the castle to the enclosure. This tour will then take you to the Rivailles wood, which is home to a large number of pigeon-houses, and to many of the lakes in the Marmande area.
