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.
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.
This arboretum features around sixty plant species. The site offers refreshing shade as the Argentor River passes by. This peaceful setting also features a picnic table and a small playground.
