pleasant outing in the forest

stunning

Informative museum about the history of Cognac production, plus chocolate and cigars (the owner has some link to cuba), a VR farm machinery simulator (which is awesome) and a small car museum.

Located on a rocky spur overlooking the Charente, Taillebourg has one of the oldest castles in the province of Saintonge. It was also one of the most important in the region in the Middle Ages. This stronghold will allow the city to assert its power and prosper thanks to its port and control of trade throughout the Middle Ages. According to a chronicler, the Château de Taillebourg hosted the wedding night of Louis, future king of France under the name Louis VII, with Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. Louis IX (future Saint Louis) made the castle his fortress to launch the attack against the King of England, Henry III. This victorious battle of July 21, 1242 became famous and was represented several centuries later by Delacroix, whose painting can be seen in the Battles gallery at the Palace of Versailles. The castle which had endured all the sieges during the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion was taken and destroyed during the Fronde in 1652. During the Revolution, it was sold in lots as national property. Having suffered from lack of maintenance, the building was the victim of a fire in 1822 and was largely destroyed. All that remains now are the ruins with the ramparts and a tower standing like an emaciated being. It now houses a park which is a haven of peace. To access it from the banks of the Charente, you have to take a small detour through the town.

Informative museum primarily about cognac, also including sections on cigars and coffee (the owner has some connection with Cuba), plus an excellent virtual reality farm equipment driving experience, and a small collection of cars!

Very rural and wooded area, Dampierre-sur-Boutonne is a quiet little town to cross. The 15th century castle and the Asinerie du Baudet du Poitou are particularly impressive!

With less than 200 inhabitants, Fenioux is one of the least densely populated municipalities in France. The main attraction is undoubtedly the 12th century Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church, a Saintonge Romanesque style church, built on even older ruins.

Halfway between castle and villa, the castle of Dampierre sur Boutonne is known for its labyrinth and its alchemical gallery.
