Tips from the Community

Adélaïde de Valence
December 19, 2023, Bac de la Lichères sur la Charente

Wooden ferry from Lichères, which allows you to cross the Charente. A cable stretched across both banks allows hikers to cross the waters independently. Please note, the ferry may be immobilized during the harshest winter months. You will then have to return to the bridge, a little further south.

Verteuil Castle is a historic monument in Verteuil-sur-Charente. It dates back to 1080. It was here that François VI de la Rochefoucauld (French writer) wrote his Maxims.

Although you cannot visit this chateau (it is privately owned by the La Rochefoucauld family) it provides a wonderful backdrop to the village and is truly a sight to behold from the river.
