Poucharramet: Trails by the Touch and Cultural History

Poucharramet combines riverside trails with architectural and cultural history. If you are looking for a hotel in Poucharramet, you can plan your stay around two themes: routes along the Touch or historical and cultural sites. The different trails, the history of Église Saint-Martin, and the cultural offerings provide concrete starting points.

Riverside trails: Sentier du Touch and Circuit des Hospitaliers

The Touch River runs through Poucharramet. From there, the Sentier du Touch heads south along the waterway to the edge of Bérat. On the Circuit des Hospitaliers, the return to Poucharramet follows the lake, through the Bure Valley, and over a bridge across the river. The routes can be distinguished by these features: the Sentier is described as heading south and following the waterway; the Circuit’s return route is defined by the lake, valley, and river crossing. Check local trail conditions before setting out, as they may change.

Église Saint-Martin: architectural history and listed status

Église Saint-Martin was built by the Hospitaller Order of Jerusalem. Construction began at the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century; a keystone bears the date 1252. The construction period and the date on the keystone are two different historical details. By decree of May 19, 1906, the church was classified as a historic monument. This building thus brings together a medieval history and a later heritage designation. A keystone is set at the apex of a vault.

La Maison de la Terre: cultural café and program

In the center of Poucharramet is La Maison de la Terre, a cultural café run by an association in a restored former farmhouse. Its year-round program includes concerts, photography and art exhibitions, theater, conferences, debates, and screenings of films, short films, and documentaries. Platters featuring local and/or organic products are also served. The food offerings may change along with the program.

Atelier Musée du Huchier: tools and ceramics

Atelier Musée du Huchier is a workshop museum in a former barn. It displays a collection of tools once used for woodworking. Also on display are old food-related ceramic items, including Dournes, pans, and other old earthenware pots. Visitor options include guided individual visits, educational visits, self-guided individual visits, and guided group visits; workshops for adults are also available. Dates and booking conditions may change, so check them before your visit. Atelier Musée du Huchier is less than a ten-minute walk from the POUCHARRAMET – Commanderie bus stop. Check current services before travelling.
