플뢰락 섬들은 앙굴렘 서쪽 리나르 근처 샤랑트 강에 있습니다. 이 작은 섬 그룹은 네 개의 강 섬으로 구성되어 있으며, 그중 세 개는 더 크고 길과 나무 판자로 연결되어 있습니다. 물이 풍부하고 식물이 빽빽한 이 지역은 오늘날 산책객과 낚시꾼들에게 인기 있는 목적지입니다. 섬 바로 옆에는 샤랑트 강을 항해 가능하게 만드는 플뢰락의 수문이 있습니다. 또한 네르삭 쪽에는 과거 수력 발전의 상업적 이용을 상기시키는 옛 제지 공장이 있습니다. 플뢰락 성이 강 계곡 위로 솟아 있어 자연, 산업, 문화 경관이 좁은 공간에 모여 있습니다.

In 1982, the Ministry of Culture, under the leadership of Jack Lang, launched the operation "Des murs en France", which consisted of having 13 painted walls created in 13 cities in France by 13 different artists. In Angoulême, it was the Icelandic artist Erró who created a huge mural representing a multitude of comic book characters (Batman, Tarzan, Tintin, etc.). Abandoned for years, the mural was renovated in 2013. It is now considered the first painted wall in Angoulême. It was during the 90s that the production of painted walls accelerated, driven by a municipal policy called the "painted walls program". The aim was to show that Angoulême is indeed the "international capital of the ninth art" (comics). In 2021, we can admire 27 painted walls, as well as the whole that covers the building of the departmental archives of Charente. In 2013, it was Michel Ocelot who proposed a fresco of "Kirikou".

Old towpath that runs along the Charente River for nearly 20 km. A pleasant, easy route, but very popular on sunny days with hikers and cyclists.

Originally, the Fleurac mill – on the Charente, at the foot of the castle of the same name – was a wheat and oil mill from the 16th century. It was almost entirely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, transformed into a paper mill in 1978, then purchased in 1983 by the General Council of Charente and transformed into a paper museum. Abandoned for several decades, it was transformed into a paper mill in 1978 by Mr. Lacombe, descendant of a family of papermakers for four generations. Faced with financial difficulties, this attempt was taken over by an association “Les amis de la tradition papetière d’Angoumois et des provinces voisins” which relaunched the activity of this mill, where paper was made in a vat from linen and cotton using 18th century techniques. The manufacturing equipment and the water wheel were rebuilt. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1984. Today, the Moulin de Fleurac is private property but the site of this mill on the banks of the Charente remains a very popular place for tourists.
