Built around the 1930s, this kiln was used by the inhabitants of the village of Chez Jaguenaud until around 1945. Its operation was used to "fire" clay, transformed into hollow tiles, as well as stone. Quicklime was thus collected from it, a material used by the region's farmers. Purchased by the municipality in 1999, it was restored and rebuilt identically to preserve this small piece of heritage. Its landscaped surroundings make it a remarkable attraction. A nearby parking lot allows visitors to linger.

Courcoury is a natural island surrounded by the Charente and Seugne rivers, giving it a unique landscape setting between marshes and waterways, conducive to biodiversity and outdoor activities. It is also the only village in Charente-Maritime to have been awarded 4 stars by the "Villes et villages étoilés" label, recognizing its efforts to reduce light pollution through intelligent and environmentally friendly public lighting.

I really enjoyed this ride. I’m 46, I did it on a 40 year old road bike, it’s more suited to a cyclocross bike!

Chesnel Castle, which has the appearance of a fortified castle, is intriguing. However, the niches here have a purely decorative function. The architecture of this building, erected in 1610, is therefore rather original. You can visit the castle by making an appointment via this link: https://patrivia.net/visit/chateau-chesnel

Crazannes Castle is also home to underground caves dug into the limestone rock, which have been used as wine cellars and to store food supplies over the centuries. Visitors can explore the caves and learn about their history through guided tours. Crazannes Castle is open to the public during the summer season and offers guided tours, contemporary art exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year. It is also possible to rent rooms for private events such as weddings or receptions.

Small picturesque town of about 700 inhabitants. The 12th century Saint-Martial church and the castle are worth the detour!
