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.

This isolated church was built in the 8th century and is a good example of Romanesque architecture. After partially collapsing in the 18th century, it was restored in 1907 after being listed as a historical monument in 1903.

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.

beautiful town with amazing views to the castle. Good little restaurants (very busy in the evening - booking required!). Wednesday is a wood fired pizza van at the market and the local bar allows you to bring the pizza in.
