Very nice view

This little bridge is beautiful

Beautiful view from the bridge over the Charente, the quays and the pier.

Located on one of the paths to Santiago de Compostela, the Via Turonensis (Road to Tours), the Saint-Denys de Montmoreau church was built in the 12th century. It has retained its original appearance, with the exception of the square Romanesque bell tower which was completely modified in the mid-19th century by Paul Abadie. A Romanesque church whose façade is marked by a polylobed portal and two arcades. It consists of a nave covered with a barrel vault, a transept whose crossing has a dome on pendentives and a vast, very bright semicircular apse. The chevet bordering the road is decorated with a very prominent horizontal cordon supported by modillions representing human or animal faces. The magnificent Romanesque frontispiece has an arched portal whose five arches form an archivolt resting on slender columns with sculpted capitals. The inner arch is openworked by six lobes ending with symbolic animal heads. All the decorations bear witness to an oriental influence in the South-West Romanesque and especially to the virtuosity of the sculptors. https://www.montmoreau.fr/index-module-orki-page-view-id-115.html https://monumentum.fr/monument-historique/pa00104432/montmoreau-eglise-saint-denis

A nice little climb to reach the beautiful church of Montchaude and its beautiful castle opposite.

Very pretty village, worth visiting!

This Renaissance style building looks great with its white stones and slate roof. The castle is believed to have been built in the 16th century, but its exact origin is debated. It belongs to private people.

Very pretty site along the Charente and on the Flow Vélo route
