Stop off south of Poitiers for a break in Joussé, in the shade of the lime trees on the square of the same name. Today's halles (covered market) stand on the site of the old, dilapidated hall. It was thanks to the impetus of Gustave Baudin, mayor at the time, that the municipality of Joussé acquired this pavilion for the 1900 Universal Exhibition. A bronze plaque at the foot of a pillar bears the name of the builder, but the plaque is now covered in cement.

Located at an altitude of 140 meters, not far from the edge of the limestone plateau, many "chirons" were still visible at the beginning of the 20th century. Two very damaged dolmens remain today, within groves, in the middle of fields. They are very similar to those of Usson-du-Poitou, nearby. One of the two dolmens was apparently a dolmen with a corridor and a quadrangular chamber of the Angoumoisin type. The tumulus that protected these prehistoric burials has long since disappeared and the archaeological material has been destroyed, largely due to clandestine excavations. However, some polished axes, a necklace of limestone beads and human remains discovered in situ testify to the funerary and symbolic use of this type of construction. Registered as a Historic Monument in 1980.
