Is a beautiful building, where rooms are available for rent. Le Chatelard has five charming guest rooms, which immerse you in a rustic and relaxing atmosphere. In the morning, a hearty breakfast is served in the dining room.

You have to be very careful with the roots of the acacias which lift the bitumen in places as well as the thorns of these trees. Otherwise very pleasant.

We have a superb view of one of the blue lakes of Touvérac. These are actually old white clay quarries. Land exploitation had left large holes that rainwater has filled over the years. The site has been managed since 1996 by the Regional Conservatory of Natural Spaces of Poitou-Charente. The flora developed to create heaths with their characteristic plants. You can also observe many animal species throughout the seasons.

Some sections of the track are damaged by tree roots and dangerous on a road bike. I often prefer to go by road.
