Hiking

This charming medieval village is classified among the most beautiful villages in France and has a rich history and heritage. You can discover the candle-making workshop which has been in operation since 1902 and learn about the traditional production of scented candles. You can also visit the Benedictine abbey dating from the 9th century and admire its Romanesque architecture. You can also stroll through the narrow streets and enjoy the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Charroux is an ideal destination for a relaxing and cultural hike.
