Footbridge in poor condition, closed by decree since September 24. The crossing is shallow at this point, with water mid-calf deep. For those planning to cross, the water level was -0.11 m in St-Saviol today. (https://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr/station/R011001001)

Concrete footbridge over the Charente River, a little narrow and without a railing, but can be crossed without dismounting with a little confidence. Swimming spot on the Charente River nearby.

A street overlooking the Charente River, named "Le Quai." Very clear thanks to its limestone paving, it features a boat ramp and a staircase creating a beach on this quiet street.

For the crazy ones who go everywhere, a nice ford to cool their feet. For the others, looking up from their wheel, you may prefer to take a small bridge to cross in the dry.
