The Greenway

Old towpath that runs along the Charente River for nearly 20 km.
A pleasant, easy route, but very popular on sunny days with hikers and cyclists.

Fleurac Mill

Highlight • Other

Originally, the Fleurac mill – on the Charente, at the foot of the castle of the same name – was a wheat and oil mill from the 16th century. It was almost entirely rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, transformed into a paper mill in 1978, then purchased in 1983 by the General Council of Charente and transformed into a paper museum.

Abandoned for several decades, it was transformed into a paper mill in 1978 by Mr. Lacombe, descendant of a family of papermakers for four generations. Faced with financial difficulties, this attempt was taken over by an association “Les amis de la tradition papetière d’Angoumois et des provinces voisins” which relaunched the activity of this mill, where paper was made in a vat from linen and cotton using 18th century techniques.

The manufacturing equipment and the water wheel were rebuilt. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1984.

Today, the Moulin de Fleurac is private property but the site of this mill on the banks of the Charente remains a very popular place for tourists.
