Discover Crossac

If you are considering Crossac as a destination, you can base your choice on specific themes: hiking trails, megalithic sites and historic buildings. The hiking trails start in the town centre, at the car park by the Calvaire. As local parking regulations may change, check the current parking situation in advance.

Hiking and megalithic sites

The Dolmen de la Barbière is a partially collapsed, nearly 10-metre-long covered megalithic structure on a rocky outcrop. A capstone is supported by three upright stones; its weight is estimated at 25 tonnes. Hiking is an especially good way to discover the dolmen. This lets you view the megalithic monument as part of an activity that also fits with Crossac’s hiking trails.

The Boucle de Croazac also includes a detour to the Château de Lorieux. This gives you a specific point of distinction when choosing a route: the detour to the château is part of this loop. The hiking trails start in the town centre; the reference to the château applies to the Boucle de Croazac.

Church and megaliths

The present-day Church of Saint Jean Baptiste was built between 1862 and 1864. Its 44-metre-high bell tower, or spire, dates from 1874. The dates therefore distinguish the construction of the church from that of the later-dated tower. If you would like to compare historic buildings with older megaliths, the Menhir du Bois Hoël is also among Crossac’s megaliths.

Heathland and bocage

The landscape is another aspect to consider when choosing a destination. Crossac’s heathland is home to sensitive flora and fauna; habitats and species can change over time. The bocage landscape has significant cultural and historical or landscape heritage value. Alongside the buildings and megaliths, nature and landscape conservation are therefore also themes that help shape Crossac’s character. There are two distinct aspects to consider when exploring the landscape: Crossac’s heathland is home to sensitive flora and fauna, while the bocage landscape has significant cultural and historical or landscape heritage value.

Guest rooms and regional cuisine

The Manoir de Bel Ebat is a building dating from 1735 and offers guest rooms as well as takeaway brunch. The table d’hôte at the manor serves dishes made with regional products. This place therefore combines accommodation with a dining option, though the two are not the same: guest rooms provide a place to stay, while takeaway brunch and the table d’hôte refer to different dining options. As accommodation and dining offers may change, check guest-room availability and the current offer before making plans.
