Tips from the Community
A former 17th-century watermill located in Voulgézac, Charente, the Nanteuillet Mill underwent extensive restoration in the 20th century. Listed as a Historic Monument, it was transformed into a country house in the 1900s by the son-in-law of the last miller, who notably added gardens and a pond. Furnished with antique furniture imitating nature, using tree trunks and bamboo stems cast in molded mortar, it is open to the public during the Garden Meetings or by appointment. The site also features a magnificent rose garden whose pergolas are reflected in the water.

It was originally a Benedictine abbey from the 11th century. The abbey experienced the horrors of the 100 Years' War in the 14th and 15th centuries, then those of the religious wars which marked the 16th century. Seized as national property during the Revolution, the building was reborn when it fell into the hands of a new owner at the end of the 1980s who opened it to the public.

Natural valley protected by steep walls. This plot is a short version. There are many paths, some of which are not shown on Komoot, to compose your own variations. The high trails offer superb views, but require vigilance due to the risk of falling. The Moulin du Verger, below, is also worth a look.
