Church of Notre-Dame de Trois-Palis

Highlight • Religious Site

This 12th century Romanesque church is nestled in the heart of the village and beautifully lighted in sunny weather. At the gates of Angoulême and on the banks of the Charente, it is easily accessible by the white paths further south.

Charente Riverside Path at La Meure

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Path located south of the Pont de la Meure, between a wooded hillside and the Charente, with a few islands. It consists of a dirt track, just wide enough for pedestrians and bicycles. The path is therefore non-drivable for most motor vehicles, which guarantees a certain tranquility.

Sireuil Lock

Highlight • Other

A popular spot for fishermen, quiet, accessible by towpaths. The path is sometimes in poor condition but the lock is worth a look, with Sireuil on the other side of the river.

White Trails of Saint-Simeux

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the most spectacular villages on the banks of the Charente. Coming from Angoulême, the church appears high up on the right. Take advantage of the morning sun to admire the illuminated village and land at the lock to let yourself be lulled by the sound of the river. Note, many herons are visible at this location.

It is a relaxing place to soak your feet in the Charente. You can land on the beach or on a bench. Take the opportunity to fill your water bottles and eat during the summer season. You are only 27 kilometers from Angoulême by the banks of the river!
