It is an imposing castle dominating the Charente valley, notably Angeac, below, where exceptional dinosaur bones were discovered (giant dinosaur femur visible at the Angoulême museum). The most spectacular view of the castle requires taking the D 152 towards Malaville. Be careful, the slope is steep and the percentages impressive.
