Its location, near the city walls and an old city gate, corresponds to that of a primitive sanctuary, predating Christianity, probably a temple dedicated to Jupiter. A first cathedral was built during the 4th century, dedicated to Saint Saturninus. The building disappeared when Clovis captured Angoulême in 508, after he drove out the Visigoths following the victory at Vouillé in 507. Clovis and then King Charibert ordered the cathedral's reconstruction in honor of Saint Peter.[2] This second cathedral was consecrated in 566 by Saint Germain, Bishop of Paris, and Saint Euphronius, Bishop of Tours, and is mentioned in Gregory of Tours' History of the Franks.[Note 1] It was burned down, probably by the Normans. The third cathedral was the work of Grimoard of Mussidan, Bishop of Angoulême (991-1018). He was also Abbot of Brantôme in Périgord and used the abbey's revenues to finance its construction. Begun around 991 and consecrated in 1015, it lasted only a century, its dimensions being too small. Only the north wall remains in the second and third bays of the nave, beneath the windows.

Very nice view

The biblical accounts of the New Testament, which describe the events in the life of Jesus and his disciples, paint a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Peter (Saint-Pierre), to whom the church of Angoulême is dedicated: On the one hand, he is a convinced and determined disciple of Jesus, but also not free from human weakness and fear. In the Garden of Gethsemane, he falls asleep (like the other disciples) when Jesus turns to God the Father after the Last Supper and asks the disciples to pray as well; and after Jesus' arrest, Peter denies three times that he even knows him. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, professes his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (which means rock), upon which the church is to be built, and he gives him—according to the account of the Evangelist Matthew—the "keys to the kingdom of heaven."

A footbridge that provides access to the city center, allowing you to stroll, observe the flora and fauna, and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the Touvre River. https://www.ville-ruellesurtouvre.fr/2020/05/05/les-passerelles/ https://ruelle-histoire.jimdofree.com/passerelles/

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/

Beautiful little town center

Footbridge connecting the villages of Fissac and Les Seguins, built in 1912. A first wooden footbridge, completed in 1894, provided access for the children of Fissac to the Les Seguins school. Aging poorly, it was demolished a few months after the construction of the second. Only a masonry clump in the middle of the Touvre River remains as a reminder of its existence.

Very narrow passage to drive through. You always have to be a little careful.
