The city is known for its two springs. Indeed, the sources of the Touvre are the second resurgence of France.

The clear waters provide an ideal habitat for many animal and plant species.

Leaving from the town hall, turn left on the route des sources. This superb wash house, built in a very pleasant setting, is in very good condition.

2-sided roof in round tiles, 4 stone pillars. The wash house has 2 walls, one in stone, the other in freestone, 2 washing tables, a coping made of large cobblestones. The basin is partially supplied by water from the resurgence. On the right, an aqueduct. Opposite, another washing stone.

Ruins of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de la Couronne

Highlight • Historical Site

Major building representing the introduction of Gothic in Angoumois at the end of the 12th century. In the 12th century, foundation of the Notre-Dame de la Couronne abbey (from 1118, laying of the first stone). Work was carried out quickly and on March 12, 1122, the monks (of the regular order of Saint Augustine) settled in the presence of Bishop Girard de Blay and the Count of Angoulême. From its creation, the abbey enjoyed great success: a new church was built at the end of the 12th century (choir and nave: 1171-1194; the end of the construction site was slowed down by wars, famines, etc.): it was dedicated in 1201, in the presence of the Archbishop of Bordeaux. The convent buildings were also renewed at the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century: cloisters, dormitory, refectory, infirmary,... A surrounding wall surrounds the abbey. During the 13th century, enrichment of the furniture, construction of the Saint-Nicolas chapel and erection of the bell tower. During the Hundred Years War, the monks are dispersed, the bell tower collapses (1450). At the end of the 15th century, the abbey was reborn: part of the collapsed church was reassembled, a new abbey dwelling was built (the work was completed after 1514). The Wars of Religion affected the abbey again: it was looted in 1562, part of its furniture was burned. The convent buildings were restored in 1571. At the beginning of the 17th century, the abbey, which had only eight monks left, was united with the Jesuit order; it was then placed under the obedience of the congregation of Sainte-Geneviève in 1644. In the 18th century, a final campaign of work (1750-1778) transformed the convent buildings. During the Revolution, the abbey became national property. It was sold in 1807, used as a quarry and was gradually dismantled and divided into several properties.
