The architecture of this church is modeled on the Greek temples popular in the early 19th century. This neoclassical architecture is the work of Paul Abadie Père. https://www.angouleme-tourisme.com/patrimoine-culturel/eglise-saint-jacques-de-lhoumeau/

A street overlooking the Charente River, named "Le Quai." Very clear thanks to its limestone paving, it features a boat ramp and a staircase creating a beach on this quiet street.

Sheltered washhouse flush with the Charente, near the church of St-Denis de Vars, but offset from the Rouillac road.

Arched bridge over the Charente, with views to the west over Ile aux Vaches, and to the east over Ile Marquet.

In 1982, the Ministry of Culture, under the leadership of Jack Lang, launched the "Walls in France" operation, which consisted of having 13 painted walls created in 13 cities in France by 13 different artists. In Angoulême, it was the Icelandic artist Erró who created a huge mural representing a multitude of comic book characters (Batman, Tarzan, Tintin, etc.). Abandoned for years, the mural was renovated in 2013. It is now considered the first painted wall in Angoulême. It was during the 90s that the production of painted walls accelerated, driven by a municipal policy called the "painted walls program". The aim was to show that Angoulême is indeed the "international capital of the ninth art" (comics). In 2021, we can admire 27 painted walls, as well as the whole that covers the building of the departmental archives of Charente. In 2001, it was the designer Nicolas de Crécy who proposed "New York on Charente".

Rest area away from the road, equipped with benches and picnic table. The benches installed above offer a clear view of the Charente loop at Vindelle.

Pretty little place, a stone's throw from clear access to the Charente, not to be missed.
