Dissay is a small commune in the Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France, located between the cities of Poitiers and Châtellerault.

It has a population of just over 3,000 residents and is part of the Greater Poitiers area. The town is best known for the Château de Dissay, a striking 15th century castle built by Pierre d'Amboise, the Bishop of Poitiers. The area has a long history, with evidence of human settlement dating back thousands of years and connections to an ancient Roman road that once linked major regional centers.

Dissay offers a quiet rural setting while remaining close to major attractions such as Futuroscope, one of France’s most popular theme parks, located only a few kilometers away. The commune combines historical heritage, local businesses, green spaces, and a community-oriented lifestyle, making it an attractive place to live and visit.
