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.

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.

15th century stone bridge known as that of the Château de la Rochefoucauld. From the building, there is a superb view of the imposing castle and the waters of the Tardoire. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1935. The castle, renowned for being one of the most beautiful and oldest in Charente, can be visited all year round. It is the only castle in France that has been inhabited by the same family for more than 1,000 years. Do not miss !
