Crazannes Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 14th century, the Château de Crazannes is listed as a Historic Monument. It belonged to the Comte de Caravaz, Jules Gouffier, who inspired Perrault for the creation of the master of Puss in Boots, the Marquis de Carabas. A rereading of the tale is essential before visiting the castle and its magnificent garden!

Saint Saturnin of Séchaud

Highlight • Other

Charming little town remarkable for its church, having undergone numerous alterations including its facade, but the oldest part of which dates back to the beginning of the 12th century; and by its castle of the provostship.
You will notice that the weather vane of its bell tower is a French flag. Indeed, under the 2nd Republic (1848-1852), a patriotic impulse resulted, with the agreement of the religious authorities, in the installation of flags on the bell towers of the churches. The St Saturnin church is one of the rare towns in the department to have kept this symbol.

Château de Taillebourg

Highlight • Castle

Located on a rocky spur overlooking the Charente, Taillebourg has one of the oldest castles in the province of Saintonge. It was also one of the most important in the region in the Middle Ages. This stronghold will allow the city to assert its power and prosper thanks to its port and control of trade throughout the Middle Ages. According to a chronicler, the Château de Taillebourg hosted the wedding night of Louis, future king of France under the name Louis VII, with Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. Louis IX (future Saint Louis) made the castle his fortress to launch the attack against the King of England, Henry III. This victorious battle of July 21, 1242 became famous and was represented several centuries later by Delacroix, whose painting can be seen in the Battles gallery at the Palace of Versailles.
The castle which had endured all the sieges during the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion was taken and destroyed during the Fronde in 1652. During the Revolution, it was sold in lots as national property. Having suffered from lack of maintenance, the building was the victim of a fire in 1822 and was largely destroyed. All that remains now are the ruins with the ramparts and a tower standing like an emaciated being. It now houses a park which is a haven of peace.
To access it from the banks of the Charente, you have to take a small detour through the town.

Fenioux

Highlight • Other

With less than 200 inhabitants, Fenioux is one of the least densely populated municipalities in France. The main attraction is undoubtedly the 12th century Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church, a Saintonge Romanesque style church, built on even older ruins.
