This abbey, also called Notre-Dame and Saint Benoît, is a former Benedictine abbey. The imposing square tower at the entrance served as a warehouse for valuables. Upon entering, you discover beautiful gardens. Its origin dates back to Carolingian times. It reached its peak during the 11th and 12th centuries. Guided tours are organized in summer.

Verteuil Castle is a historic monument in Verteuil-sur-Charente. It dates back to 1080. It was here that François VI de la Rochefoucauld (French writer) wrote his Maxims.

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.
