A legend ! This short circuit is still used by old racing vehicles. Once a year, in September, the city of Angoulême welcomes vintage cars that have illuminated so many enthusiasts, they compete on this circuit. Cars launched at full speed on the ramps of the circuit.

View over the Touvre Springs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The sources are resurgences made up of Dormant, Bouillant, Font de Lussac and La Lèche which appear under the ruins of the Château de Touvre. They give rise to the Touvre, a tributary of the Charente only 11.7 km long and whose flow allows the Charente to be navigable from Angoulême to the ocean. They supply the agglomeration of Angoulême with drinking water.

It is the second resurgence of France, with an average annual flow of 13 cubic meters per second, after the fountain of Vaucluse.
