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!!!

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 !

In the heart of Charente, the Château de la Rochefoucauld stands like a page of history mixed with an enchanted tale. Built around the 16th century on the site of an 11th century fortress, this gem has been cherished by the same family since its earliest days. And that’s something! Strolling through its rooms or admiring the landscape from its towers, you feel the weight of history. It's as if the castle whispers to us both history lessons and stories of adventure.

This magical 16th century Renaissance castle is built on an 11th century fortress whose towers have been preserved. The castle and its gardens have been classified as a historical monument since 1955. Definitely worth the short detour!
