Culture
The Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens in Lorignac underwent its main construction phase in the 12th century. Its western façade was listed as a Monument historique by decree of 23 February 1925; the previously unprotected parts were also listed as a Monument historique by decree of 5 December 2000. The older history of Haute-Saintonge also includes the Cromlech du Gros Chail in Lorignac, one of the historically documented megaliths of the region that have disappeared today.
Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment for a stay in Lorignac can note this plan as an independent objective in their travel planning.
Nature
The Forêt de la Lande is a large forest massif with Atlantic oak woodland, locally interspersed with conifers, and a significant population of diurnal birds of prey. Ten species of diurnal birds of prey regularly breed in the area. At the same time, the Forêt de la Lande is a type 1 continental ZNIEFF in the municipality of Lorignac.
Hiking
In Lorignac, there is the 12-kilometre circular hiking trail “Circuit pédestre N°6 - Moulins et variantes”. Its starting point is at the car park at Place de la Fontaine in Lorignac. The circular trail leads to the Moulin de la Motte; the “Moulins” variant leads to the Moulin de la Colle.
The route extends from the Forêt de la Lande to vineyard slopes, leads into the forest and continues towards La Lande and towards the Logis de Tirac.
