12의 브리수 샬레가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Built during the second half of the 18th century, this mill ceased operation at the end of the 19th century. It served as an observation post for occupying troops from 1940 to 1941, and as a fire detection watchtower from 1973. While its ground floor provides welcome shelter from the weather, its viewpoint is only open to the west, and for a short time, its northern view being blocked by the new fir shoots, which will inevitably surround it completely.

Saint-Étienne Church in Courgeac, in Charente, is a 12th-century Romanesque church composed of a single nave made of small cubic rubble (early 12th century), with a barrel vault, a square ribbed vault topped by a rectangular bell tower, and a semicircular Romanesque apse with a cul-de-four vault. In the 15th and 16th centuries, a porch was built in front of the nave and covered with frescoes. Above the apse, an upper chamber was built, probably during the Wars of Religion, for defensive purposes, including a battlement and gun ports. The church displays the architecture typical of modest churches of the early Romanesque period. You must enter the cemetery to get a full view. http://chapiteaux.free.fr/TXT_COURGEAC_16.html https://www.tripadvisor.fr/Attraction_Review-g1932328-d27157425-Reviews-Eglise_Saint_Etienne_a_Courgeac-Montmoreau_Saint_Cybard_Charente_Nouvelle_Aquit.html

The Church of Our Lady of the Navitiy was built in the 12th century. This Romanesque-style monument was considerably altered with age, so much so that only the foundations are original today. The walls, for example, were raised shortly after the Hundred Years' War to allow refuge rooms to be built under the roof. The Romanesque façade, for its part, was remodeled during the Gothic period. The use of grison, a local grey stone very common in this area of Charente, limited the sculpted decoration to its strictest expression; this stone was unsuitable for sculpture. On the other hand, the church has a painted fresco, rediscovered in the sanctuary during restoration work. Like all medieval churches, Notre-Dame de Brossac was once surrounded by its cemetery, abandoned in 1843. Outside, in the north wall of the nave, there remain two funerary recesses intended to shelter the burial of high-ranking figures. https://www.sauvegardeartfrancais.fr/projets/brossac-eglise-notre-dame-de-la-nativite

Artificial natural site formed by the exploitation of a clay quarry

Beautiful route, there is a restaurant at the lake and from Rioux-Martin you can make a nice round trip

This is a fishing lake. A path allows you to follow the banks in a very nice environment.

The trail offers a beautiful view of the blue lake of Guizengard. The water takes on a thousand azure hues, creating an almost unreal setting. The site has great ecological value with the presence of numerous plant and animal species. Among the most remarkable, the bee-eater, this beautiful, brightly colored bird has found refuge here to the delight of walkers.

superb place with a beautiful panorama 😄
