Château des Chabannes

Highlight • Other

The Château des Chabannes in Jarnac was built at the end of the 19th century for Baptiste Vert, then a cognac company manager.
It is distinguished by its vast terrace offering a panoramic view of the Charente River and a garden featuring a pond and a rockery pierced by grottoes.
The château's architecture, composed of a central building, two rectangular wings, and pavilions with round towers, reflects the tastes of the time and the importance of the local cognac houses.
The architectural details are particularly elaborate: stone balustrades, a south-facing gallery, sculpted friezes, and a prominent winter garden that accentuates the refinement of the ensemble.
This residence, surrounded by a park sloping down to the river, bears witness to the prestige of the region's cognac merchants during the Belle Époque.

Vinade-Bassac bridge

Highlight • Other

Here we find a superb bridge that the GR 4 borrows. The Charente residences along the Charente are sumptuous, the abbey of Bassac a few hundred meters away is also worth the detour.

A haven of peace, in the shade of the bridge, the view of the Charente buildings is worth a stop.

Highlight • Settlement

Le Bourg offers the possibility of dining at La Ribaudière, one of the three Michelin-starred restaurants in Charente, but also, for sports enthusiasts, at the grocery store in the main square, or why not, enjoying a coffee and a pastry. on a bench, facing the Charente. At 50 kilometers from Angoulême (and 13 from Cognac, a break is in order!
