Near the Puypéroux Abbey, in Charente, the Saint-Gilles fountain is located in a lowland.
You can get there by bike, but with a mountain bike or Gravel++ type bike, because a 300m descent on dirt and grass is required. Otherwise, it is on foot.
In winter, the grass is wet and the earth loose; you need the right tires for the climb.
