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

A nice place to take a break. There is a picnic bench and an orientation table. There are lovely views over the surrounding fields.

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

The church depended on the priory of Barbezieux. The plan of the building is in the shape of a cross, with a flat apse. The nave includes two first bays from the 15th century, deviated on the axis of the rest of the building, with ribbed vaults and girders. A narrower bay is covered with ribbed vaults resting on Romanesque columns. The current transept and choir are covered with ribbed vaults resting on 13th century small columns with foliated capitals. The choir vault bears the date of 1682. The portal of the western facade dates from the 15th century and has pinnacles, prismatic moldings and kale. Square bell tower with twin trefoil windows.

I love this church because it exudes calm. She dominates the primary school with her handful of students. Something sweet, simple comes out of this church. She's not the prettiest, it's true, but nestled in the heart of the village of Bonneuil, she reminds us how much we have to take care of our villages so that schools remain open and children continue to learn and learn. play under the gaze of these ancient churches.

Yes, the Col de la Bergère which rises to 139 meters ... On leaving Bouteville, the climb offers (by turning around) an exceptional view of the Charente valley and the Château de Bouteville. The climb is dry, steep, switchbacks, woods, vines, an idyllic setting ... all without traffic. What more ?
