Saint John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Other

Grassac was the seat of an archpriest who had been given in 1097 by Bishop Adhémar to the Abbey of Bourgueuil which united it to its priory Notre-Dame de Beaulieu in Angoulême. The church was enlarged, after the damage of 1570, by a north aisle which was to be vaulted with ribs. The vault and various restoration works were undertaken in the 19th century. The plan of the building is that of an enlarged rectangle with a bay under a bell tower and an apse in the extension of the initial nave. This first nave supported by flat buttresses and a projecting buttress from the 17th century, is vaulted by a flat plaster cradle. The bay under the bell tower is vaulted with a stone dome on horns, pierced with a hole for the bell and decorated with a false sky.

Small craft brewery installed in an old mill. Takeaway or consumption on site in a great setting! And in addition the beer is very good!

Saint Paul's Church in Chazelles

Highlight • Other

12th century Romanesque church. The west facade has two buttresses rising to the top at its ends. Double buttresses correspond to the western pilasters of the dome and small ones are placed to the west of the nave, on the chapel and the apse. The rectangular bell tower has a first floor with arches, resting on a molded cordon. On another cordon, loaded with vertical billets, rises a second floor, the walls of which are pierced with rectangular openings. Inside, the nave has no vault. Its western and southern walls were dated back to the 17th century. Part of the pavement of the nave is made up of funerary slabs, bearing the representation of the working instruments of the deceased. A covered wooden chapel is supported to the north. It communicates with the nave by two wide arches. The false square, under the bell tower, carries a dome on horns, the departures of which rest on horizontal cords.

Touvre

Highlight • Other

The city is known for its two springs. Indeed, the sources of the Touvre are the second resurgence of France.

The clear waters provide an ideal habitat for many animal and plant species.
