フークールでののおすすめグラベルライド

Perfect for a short break, on the side of a quiet road.

Bridge built "in the style of" Gustave Eiffel over the Charente, near the Etouyer path, between St-Groux and Châteaurenaud.

Here you are in the Tusson and Villejesus forest. This is classified as a natural area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. The oaks are very present. By taking the time to silently observe the nature around you, you may come across some animal species. Many raptors find refuge there.

The town of Tusson is rich in a unique historical heritage. The four tumulus of Tusson date from the fifth century BC and have the particularity of being aligned. These prehistoric monuments made up of one or more blocks of stone and earth were then raised above certain graves. Those of Tusson are among the largest in Europe. The priory and its monastic garden are also worth a look and take you back in time. In addition, gourmets can sit at one of the restaurants or tea rooms in the town to enhance their break.

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.

The medieval gardens of the Abbey of St. Gall have been recreated there. Using ancient documents to trace and plant with precision, it consists of four separate gardens within the walled garden: an herb garden, a scent garden, a vegetable patch and an orchard.

Cheap campsite, on a large plot shaded by huge trees. Possibility to go swimming in the Charente.

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.
