포레 도마니알 드 부아 블랑 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Very narrow passage to drive through. You always have to be a little careful.

The city is known for its two springs. Indeed, the sources of the Touvre are the second resurgence of France. The clear waters provide an ideal habitat for many animal and plant species.

The passage in the tunnel under the railway line is narrow. The best thing is to signal yourself to other cyclists with a little ring of the bell.

The Château de la Tranchade dominates the Anguienne valley on a rocky outcrop protecting the south-eastern access to Angoulême. A strategic stronghold to control Angoulême, La Tranchade has often been besieged.

A narrow passage under the former railway line.

Absolutely super bike route. Really recommendable.

The castle was, in the Middle Ages, the seat of one of the most important seigneuries of Angoumois. In the 12th century, La Tranchade was part of the domains of the abbey of Saint-Cybard. In the 14th century, it belonged to the lords of Pressac. The entrance to the estate is via a postern flanked by two asymmetrical square towers, with a parapet on machicolations decorated with shells. A bridge replaced the old drawbridge and crosses the moat dug in the rock. The building is made up of two square buildings, backing onto the keep. The latter is the oldest part, built towards the end of the 14th century. It is rectangular with a blind facade. A hexagonal tower containing the spiral staircase is attached to it. Both are crowned with battlements. The other part of the main courtyard was built in the 17th century. The windows of the south-eastern facade are framed by flat pilasters resting on consoles.
