Small city of character and stage on the Way of Saint Jacques de Compostelle, Charroux has a lot of charm which make it a pleasant stage. To see: the Saint Sauveur Abbey and its Charlemagne Tower, the medieval Halles of the 16th century and the pretty little streets.

Although you cannot visit this chateau (it is privately owned by the La Rochefoucauld family) it provides a wonderful backdrop to the village and is truly a sight to behold from the river.

beautiful town with amazing views to the castle. Good little restaurants (very busy in the evening - booking required!). Wednesday is a wood fired pizza van at the market and the local bar allows you to bring the pizza in.
