Close to Lichére, a short detour to the unmissable village of Aunac sur Charente, a relaxing break with all shops: bakery, pastry shop, bar, restaurant, general food with local products, butcher, delicatessen, camping, canoeing, guinguette!!

Wooden ferry from Lichères, which allows you to cross the Charente. A cable stretched across both banks allows hikers to cross the waters independently. Please note, the ferry may be immobilized during the harshest winter months. You will then have to return to the bridge, a little further south.

The town of Tusson is rich in a unique historical heritage. The four tumulus of Tusson date from the fifth century BC and have the particularity of being aligned. These prehistoric monuments made up of one or more blocks of stone and earth were then raised above certain graves. Those of Tusson are among the largest in Europe. The priory and its monastic garden are also worth a look and take you back in time. In addition, gourmets can sit at one of the restaurants or tea rooms in the town to enhance their break.

problem is, this is not in use or available until at least april, so you can't cross the river here in the winter months

Verteuil Castle is a historic monument in Verteuil-sur-Charente. It dates back to 1080. It was here that François VI de la Rochefoucauld (French writer) wrote his Maxims.

Imposing in this small village, the abbey is easy to find. Built in the 11th century, this abbey was not finally completed until 1170 by Eleanor of Aquitaine. If you are interested in Roman architecture, visit the local museum to learn about the origins of this abbey.

This isolated church was built in the 8th century and is a good example of Romanesque architecture. After partially collapsing in the 18th century, it was restored in 1907 after being listed as a historical monument in 1903.
