Tips from the Community
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 !

Wooden ferry from Lichères, which allows you to cross the Charente. A cable stretched across both banks allows hikers to cross the waters independently. Please note, the ferry may be immobilized during the harshest winter months. You will then have to return to the bridge, a little further south.

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.

Here you are in the Tusson and Villejesus forest. This is classified as a natural area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. The oaks are very present. By taking the time to silently observe the nature around you, you may come across some animal species. Many raptors find refuge there.

problem is, this is not in use or available until at least april, so you can't cross the river here in the winter months

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!
