The castle dominates the town and the confluence of the Issoire and the Vienne.

In summer, you can enjoy certain activities taking place on the site.

Highlight • Other

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.
