“Death would gladly walk through the realm of joy, He would gladly press his hand on flowery brows. In ashes tomorrow and torn garments, With bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and a pain to us. Our games are followed by funeral processions; For us Saturnalia can be the cradle, Woe to us! of songs of the dead alone!” Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): “Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry” (1820)

This medieval city is labeled "Small city of character". And for good reason ! The streets of the heart of the city are full of half-timbered houses. The ramparts, the Vieux bridge, the Goire bridge, the Romanesque churches and the mansions affirm the undeniable charm of Confolens. Located at the confluence of the Vienne and the Goire, the city offers many water activities to visitors.
