A charming village! As its name indicates, the village stands beside the river and is an important stopover on the Flow Vélo cycle route. Don’t forget to have a stroll round the hamlets of Veillard or Margonnet …
The Château at Bourg
It dominates the village and offers an unforgettable view over the Charente. Not much remains of the feudal castle, known today as the Marnier-Lapostolle château. It’s here that the famous Grand-Marnier liqueur is distilled !

Veillard and le Romède
Take a break at Veillard where the Romède, a tributary of the Charente has created a little lake just right for a bucolic break !
You can also visit the Domaine Pautier that sells grape juice and Pineau des Charentes directly to the customer.
