walk here towards the village

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.

Although you cannot visit this chateau (it is privately owned by the La Rochefoucauld family) it provides a wonderful backdrop to the village and is truly a sight to behold from the river.

beautiful town with amazing views to the castle. Good little restaurants (very busy in the evening - booking required!). Wednesday is a wood fired pizza van at the market and the local bar allows you to bring the pizza in.

The dolmen of Petite Pérotte and its neighbor of Grosse Pérotte belonged to a vast group of funerary monuments dating from the Neolithic period (4500 to 4000 years BC) Its table, that is to say the enormous stone resting on vertical pillars, weighs about 40 tonnes and comes from a cliff on the banks of the Charente 4 or 5 km away ... In the Neolithic period, the dolmen was not visible: it is covered with a stone and earth construction called a tumulus. A covered corridor allows entry into the burial chamber. The excavations and then the restorations carried out in 2012 and 2013 made it possible to materialize on the ground the influence of this circular tumulus, the corridor and a secondary chamber under a stone table now resting directly on the ground.
