Le Chambon is a place dedicated to outdoor sports: mountain biking, cycling, hiking, trail running, tree climbing, archery and canoeing. The hamlet has several places of reception for the sportsmen of passage.

Two paths allow access to the castle. The first is a ford over the Tardoire; the second is a path coming from Montbron. The facade of the castle presents, on the left, in the interior courtyard, two superimposed galleries. The upper gallery, in wood, rests on the three broken arches of the lower gallery. The castle is docked with pepper shakers. To the north are the outbuildings of the farm. Entrance into the building is from the north, through a door pierced in the west turret, a door adorned with prismatic moldings and which opens onto a spiral staircase leading to the upper rooms. To the west, a vast uncrown tower could have served as a keep for the old castle.

Former priory of the 12th and 13th centuries attached to the abbey of Cluny; to the north, the chapel (16th century); the bedside and the Romanesque bell tower rebuilt by Paul Abadie (19th century); inside, the equestrian statue of Saint-Maurice in polychrome wood (12th century).

The current castle of Montbron (or Old Castle) was built during the 15th century, around 1480, shortly after the Hundred Years War left behind many destructions. Built under the authority of Marguerite de Rohan, Countess of Angoulême, the castle consists of a main building on which leans a polygonal tower through which you can access using a remarkable spiral staircase, two magnificent painted fireplaces dating from the 17th century. adorning the two exhibition halls on the first floor. The whole, built with the stones of the old feudal fortress, was integrated into the city surrounded by ramparts. In summer, all the rooms of the castle welcome various artists (painters, sculptors, visual artists, craftsmen...).
