Saint Mary Magdalene Church, Touvre

Highlight • Other

The church is located on a rocky outcrop where was also the old castle, it dominates the sources of the Touvre to the south. It dates from the 12th century and has four capitals listed as historic monuments in the nave.

The western part dates from the middle of the 12th century and the choir from the end of the same century. Half-ruined in 1631, the church was restored shortly afterwards, then in 1755. The northwest corner of the nave was erected in the 17th century. In 1845, it received brick vaults. A steeple overflowing in place of the one that existed on the false square.

View over the Touvre Springs

Highlight • Viewpoint

The sources are resurgences made up of Dormant, Bouillant, Font de Lussac and La Lèche which appear under the ruins of the Château de Touvre. They give rise to the Touvre, a tributary of the Charente only 11.7 km long and whose flow allows the Charente to be navigable from Angoulême to the ocean. They supply the agglomeration of Angoulême with drinking water.

It is the second resurgence of France, with an average annual flow of 13 cubic meters per second, after the fountain of Vaucluse.

Fissac–Seguins footbridge

Highlight • Other

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.

Touvre Springs Fish Farm

Highlight • Structure

A curiosity to see all these pools! It is a relaxing place where you can observe trout, fish and quench your thirst. In this haven of peace a few kilometers from Angoulême, you will also meet a gentleman, manager of this place, passionate about his activity and very respectful of the animals he raises.

Tunnel under the railway line

Highlight • Structure

The passage in the tunnel under the railway line is narrow. The best thing is to signal yourself to other cyclists with a little ring of the bell.

Old station portico

Highlight • Monument

On the Coulée d'Oc, an old massive gantry designed to lift heavy loads transported by rail. The portico is located a few hundred meters from the demarcation line.

You have the possibility to park right next to it.
