The building, constructed in the 12th century, was enlarged in the 15th century by the north and south aisles dedicated to the Virgin and Saint John the Baptist. It was restored in 1875-1876. It has a basilica plan with a single nave, on which is grafted to the east a false square surmounted by a dome on pendentives and which ends in a vaulted apse. Side chapels with flat chevet were added, to the north and south, in the 15th century. The facade is pierced by a door with a triple projection and an open window. The building was fortified at the time of the Hundred Years' War. The whole is surmounted, to the east, at the level of the dome, by a square bell tower on two levels. The base is decorated with three blind arcades; The upper floor is decorated, on each side, with three semicircular arches mounted on small columns, highlighted by a circular stringcourse and enclosing twin bay windows. https://www.dignac.fr/histoire-et-patrimoine/ https://monumentum.fr/monument-historique/pa00104355/dignac-eglise-saint-cybard

A footbridge that provides access to the city center, allowing you to stroll, observe the flora and fauna, and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the Touvre River. https://www.ville-ruellesurtouvre.fr/2020/05/05/les-passerelles/ https://ruelle-histoire.jimdofree.com/passerelles/

Footbridge connecting the villages of Fissac and Les Seguins, built in 1912. A first wooden footbridge, completed in 1894, provided access for the children of Fissac to the Les Seguins school. Aging poorly, it was demolished a few months after the construction of the second. Only a masonry clump in the middle of the Touvre River remains as a reminder of its existence.

Very narrow passage to drive through. You always have to be a little careful.

On the forecourt of Angoulême train station are two stone monuments erected in homage to the author of the comic strip: a menhir and an obelisk. On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the death of René Goscinny, the René Goscinny Institute, with the support of the International Comic Strip Festival, is offering the City of Angoulême, the international capital of comic strips, a monument that will last a long time. Built in a public place, passers-by will be able to appropriate this obelisk and have fun deciphering its inscriptions. The obelisk for Goscinny is a stone monolith on which are engraved 82 quotes taken from the works of the screenwriter including Asterix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud, Le Petit Nicolas, Les Dingodossiers... Some of these phrases are part of our everyday language: "They are crazy these Romans", "Find the magic potion", "Be afraid that the sky will fall on our heads", "Shoot faster than your shadow", "Want to be caliph in the place of the caliph"... Translated into 150 languages and dialects, the work of René Goscinny has traveled around the world. Thanks to his qualities as a screenwriter and the talent of his co-authors, Albert Uderzo, Morris, Sempé, Tabary, Gotlib, the comic strip becomes the 9th art. This monument is a tribute to the entire comic strip. https://www.angouleme-tourisme.com/equipement/parvis-de-la-gare-lobelisque-et-le-menhir/#:~:text=Cet%20ob%C3%A9lisque%20BD%20a%20%C3%A9t%C3%A9,cultes%20des%20albums%20d'Ast%C3%A9rix.

After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Sainte MARIE MADELEINE" is the woman most frequently mentioned in the writings of the New Testament. Originally called "Mary of Magdala" after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, over time the name "Mary Magdalene" has been formed. According to the biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. According to the testimony of the evangelists, Mary Magdalene is also one of the three women who, after the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, wanted to anoint the body on Easter morning after the Sabbath rest, and the very first person who ever met the Risen Christ. In theology, she is therefore also known as the "Apostle of the Apostles". The feast day of Sainte Marie-Madeleine in the calendar of saints is July 22nd.
