One of the most spectacular villages on the banks of the Charente. Coming from Angoulême, the church appears high up on the right. Take advantage of the morning sun to admire the illuminated village and land at the lock to let yourself be lulled by the sound of the river. Note, many herons are visible at this location.

Bain des Dames Beach on the Charente

Highlight • Beach

It is a relaxing place to soak your feet in the Charente. You can land on the beach or on a bench. Take the opportunity to fill your water bottles and eat during the summer season. You are only 27 kilometers from Angoulême by the banks of the river!

Vinade-Bassac bridge

Highlight • Other

Here we find a superb bridge that the GR 4 borrows. The Charente residences along the Charente are sumptuous, the abbey of Bassac a few hundred meters away is also worth the detour.

A haven of peace, in the shade of the bridge, the view of the Charente buildings is worth a stop.

The Jarnac Quays

Highlight • River

Opposite the racecourse, a narrow dirt path sheltered by a row of trees. Perfect place to take a break, sit and watch the Charente flow peacefully
