Culture

The remains of the Gallo-Roman Villa de la Coue d’Auzenat are located in Brossac. An aqueduct belonging to the Gallo-Roman Villa de la Coue d’Auzenat was discovered 62 metres north of the villa. The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité in Brossac was built on a hilltop in the 12th century and contains a painted fresco that was rediscovered during restoration work in the sanctuary. The 12th-century Church of Notre Dame de Brossac overlooks pine-covered heathland and agricultural land.

The covered washhouse at Bonneteau dates from the early 20th century and was converted into an educational pond in 1999. The washhouse on Rue de la Fontaine was restored and enhanced to enrich Brossac’s municipal cultural heritage.

At Brossac’s weekly market, local producers offer cheese, beer, bread and brioche; traders also sell fruit, vegetables and other local products. As part of the market, the Arts Brossac association runs a coffee stand beneath Brossac’s market halls on Saturday mornings. Brossac’s wood-fired oven helps bring the Saturday morning market to life.
