Angoulême, city of the Valois, also city of Isabelle d'Angoulême, née Taillefer, the countess-queen, who with her husband Jean sans Terre created the city in 1203-1204-1205, initiated the construction of the chasteau-neuf in 1228, a 3rd level of ramparts on the east side, towards St Martial, and today deserves to be recognized in its city of birth. She will soon have a statue in her likeness, perhaps a street in her name, a painted wall, an Isabelle path towards Villebois... recognition for the woman who also promoted the Magna Carta, the great charter of freedoms, the beginning of modern democracy praised by Winston Churchill. Isabelle is honored across the Channel, not in her native Angoumois. A big gap to fill!!!

One of the most beautiful views of the historic heart of Angoulême and the Charente.

The hunebed stands on a ledge halfway up the hill. The tumulus which covered it has disappeared. This dolmen is of an imposing and unusual height in the region. The deck table rests alone on three perfectly square pillars 2.20 m high. Several orthostats show traces of wear or write-off attempts by stonemasons [ 2 ] . All orthostats are of shell limestone [ 3 ] . The table, in sandstone , measures 5.40 meters long and 4.40 meters wide for a maximum thickness of 0.90  m, it weighs about 40 tons. The room opens to the southeast, the presumed entrance corridor that originally existed has completely disappeared [ 2 ] . The plan of the burial chamber seems to have been dictated by the shape of the deck table, making it a totally atypical dolmen [ 4 ] . The dolmen has been emptied a long time ago as it has been listed as such since 1826

Imposing in this small village, the abbey is easy to find. Built in the 11th century, this abbey was not finally completed until 1170 by Eleanor of Aquitaine. If you are interested in Roman architecture, visit the local museum to learn about the origins of this abbey.

This dolmen has an unusual and imposing height of more than 2m high. The crowning table at the top would weigh 40 tons.

The medieval gardens of the Abbey of St. Gall have been recreated there. Using ancient documents to trace and plant with precision, it consists of four separate gardens within the walled garden: an herb garden, a scent garden, a vegetable patch and an orchard.
