Belonging to an agricultural canton, Réaup-Lisse, always original, remained a working-class village for a long time. Resin tappers and lumberjacks, who opposed the Second Empire as early as the 19th century, organized themselves into a "Mutual Aid Society," a social welfare organization ahead of its time. Under the Vichy regime, the forest sheltered members of the Resistance, symbols of its independent spirit.
In Cieuse, admire the old Notre Dame de Cieuse church, built near an ancient Gallo-Roman villa. Since the Middle Ages, this chapel and spring have attracted pilgrims in memory of deliverance from the plague and healing from various illnesses.
Réaup is a great place for outdoor tourism. You'll get a warm welcome at the Lislebonne recreation center. Visitors interested in heritage can discover "Las Naou Peyros," more commonly known as "the nine stones" or "the devil's stones." This is a prehistoric cromlech: a Druidic place of worship. Several legends are associated with this cromlech, including one about witches who used to hold their sabbaths here... Come and discover it for yourself!
You can also see some Landes-style houses with their characteristic awnings.
In addition to agricultural and artisanal businesses, Lisse has developed its capacity to welcome tourists by offering high-end lodgings. Visitors who love authentic sites can admire the mill, and a stroll will take them to Le Rey, a bucolic and charming landscape.
Hunters and fishermen can pursue their passions in unspoiled natural surroundings, which are also popular with walkers. No visit to this town would be complete without mentioning the 13th-century Château de Lisse. It is a magnificent building whose proud architecture bears the mark of the Renaissance.
