This imposing holm oak is approximately 500 years old. We do not know if it was planted on the occasion of the birth of the future king of France François I in 1494, on the occasion of his coronation in 1515 or on the occasion of his death in 1547. What we do know, however, is that it measures 17 meters high with a trunk circumference of 5.5 meters. Classified as a “remarkable tree”, it was even elected “tree of the year” in 2014 by the National Forestry Office.

The Château de Garde-Épée in Saint-Brice is built on the edge of a plateau overlooking the Charente in the distance. In January 1553, Sieur Ancelin, a merchant, bought this fief from the Marquis de Caravaz (the Marquis de Carabas in Perrault's tale) with permission to build a crenellated house there with a gigantic flight, fish pond and warren. Around the middle of the 17th century, Jean Ancelin having died childless, his heirs sold the domain of Garde-Épée to a Mr. Richard, who was still the owner in 1698. Finally the house of Garde-Épée passed into the family of Jarnac de Garde-Épée, which still owns it today with the abbey of Châtre, through a private company, the Société de Garde-Épée, whose main shareholder is Henri de Jarnac. On the right, before the entrance, the imposing round flight has 2600 putlogs. It is covered with a pepperbox roof with three skylights and dates from 1553. The arms of the Ancelins are visible above the door. The entrance is imposing with a carriage entrance surmounted by a long curtain wall crowned with merlons. The buildings form a vast quadrilateral. The house which occupies the north side was rebuilt at the end of the 18th century with two levels under a low roof; it is extended by two single level wings. The courtyard has a curious well covered with a roof. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since October 30, 1973.

In 1262, the land of Bourg already belonged to the Ollivier family. In 1363, Sir Ollivier, Baron de Bourg, paid homage to the Prince of Wales, the remarriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine having made the castle of Bourg-Charente an English possession. It then passed to the Bragier, Gouffier, Pons de Pons families, to the Count of Miossens (lord of Pons and governor of Guyenne). The current castle was built by Pons de Pons, to replace the fortified castle destroyed by Marshal de Sancerre while trying to take it back from the English. A Le Camus de Neville was the last lord. In 1921, it was bought by the Marnier-Lapostolle family to set up its cognac cellars there, necessary for the production of Grand Marnier. Since 2012, there are also stills used for the distillation of bitter oranges used in the recipe for Grand Marnier liqueurs.

Neo-Gothic in style, it takes place on the remains of an old medieval castle destroyed in the 16th century during the protests against the salt tax. Sold as national property under the French Revolution, it now houses a luxury accommodation space.
