A beautiful castle that can be visited. The friendly owner gave us a tour. There's a good infrastructure for cyclists, including a well-equipped workshop. All free of charge or in exchange for donations.

The exterior of the castle is impressive. It is built on the basis of a square, each corner of which is protected by a tower. The moat surrounds the whole building. In summer, the castle can be visited by reservation. Information on the local tourist office website: https://www.tourisme-charentelimousine.fr/fiche-sit/chateau-de-rochebrune-5656147/#truncate

This old castle overlooks the Vienne river in the town of Saint-Germain-de-Confolens.

The Château de Sansac, located in the town of Beaulieu-sur-Sonnette, is a castle that dates from the Renaissance period.

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.

At the entrance to St Germain we have a beautiful view of the castle. From the park next door, it is possible to swim in the Vienne and there is everything you need for a picnic.
