Very beautiful village

It was originally a Benedictine abbey from the 11th century. The abbey experienced the horrors of the 100 Years' War in the 14th and 15th centuries, then those of the religious wars which marked the 16th century. Seized as national property during the Revolution, the building was reborn when it fell into the hands of a new owner at the end of the 1980s who opened it to the public.

This home is known for its gardens which are listed as “Historic Monuments”. It was in the mid-1920s that the place experienced a revival. Eugène Burreau, landscape architect and head gardener of the city of Angoulême, was then responsible for designing the gardens surrounding the building. The whole, the building and the gardens were registered in 1992.

This thousand-year-old castle overlooks the surrounding plains. From its heights, beautiful panoramas pass before our eyes. It is an ancient citadel. Many activities are offered all year round.
