Not yet fully developed on Komoot, so we only recorded part of the route, but the reality of our vacation is that we did the bike flow, from Angoulème to Ile Madame with our 11-year-old grandson at the rate of 50 km/day and that I can only recommend! Very nice hike, varied landscapes, pretty little villages, hotel campsites and frequent refreshments, a well-maintained path overall, everything to please!

Castle with a fairly compact architecture, rich in details and various corbels that seem to come out of a Walt Disney story. It doesn't look very well maintained, what a pity!
