There are different ways to shape a stay in Tousson: prehistoric remains along the Circuit des Mégalithes, a commemorative plaque in the church, and a riding and carriage-driving loop through valleys and across plateaus. The routes pass through the town, but differ in their themes and uses. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide whether megaliths, local history or a longer loop should define your stay.

Routes with different focuses

The 19 km Circuit des Mégalithes passes through Tousson and offers a way to discover prehistoric remains. Menhirs and a polishing stone are at the heart of its archaeological focus. This gives you a clear theme when choosing an excursion: here, the focus is on traces of prehistory.

The 62 km Au coeur du Gâtinais français loop also passes through Tousson. It runs through valleys and across plateaus and is designed for riding and carriage driving. Signposts, trail markers and color-coded signs help you find your way along the route. The difference is more than just the distance: the Circuit des Mégalithes is defined by menhirs, a polishing stone and prehistoric remains, while Au coeur du Gâtinais français is designed as a riding and carriage-driving loop. You can therefore make your choice based on the activity you would like to focus on.

A memorial in the church

The commemorative plaque in Tousson church offers a tangible link to local history. It recalls a donation made by the priest Nicolle Daneau in 1550. The plaque has been classified as a protected object since 11 May 1939. The dates refer to different things: 1550 is the year of the donation, while 11 May 1939 marks its protected status. If you are interested in cultural and historical details, you will find a specific historical event here, as well as the later designation of the object as protected cultural heritage.

A cultural venue with a dated closure

The Tête des Trains offers another perspective on cultural life in Tousson, but with a clear timeframe. Since 1982, it had offered cultural and artistic activities for people aged 7 to 77. It was closed by prefectural order in November 2023. The age range describes the audience for its former program, not a current one. If you would like to include the Tête des Trains in your plans, check the latest visitor information; its closure is important to bear in mind.

Different time references

The dates refer to different points in time: 1550 is the year of the donation commemorated, and 1939 the year the plaque was classified; the Tête des Trains began its program in 1982 and closed in November 2023. This helps distinguish the protected memorial object in the church from the former cultural program as two different cultural and historical points of interest.
