The Quai de Montignac

Highlight • River

A street overlooking the Charente River, named "Le Quai." Very clear thanks to its limestone paving, it features a boat ramp and a staircase creating a beach on this quiet street.

Notre-Dame-de-Tous-Biens Church of Xambes

Highlight • Religious Site

Former priory of the abbey of Saint-Amant-de-Boixe, the church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries but was remodeled at various times, starting in the 13th century. It was undoubtedly also fortified during the Hundred Years War and transformed again in more recent times (construction of the wall separating the nave from the choir). In 1876, brick reconstruction of the vault of the nave which had collapsed. The single-nave building ends in the east with a semicircular apse and in the west with a square bell tower-porch placed in front of the early church. The nave is undoubtedly the oldest part of the building. The choir was adorned, a posteriori, with nine large blind arcades, separated by engaged columns adorned with capitals with hooks and foliage. The bell tower-porch shelters, on the ground floor, the old portal made up of three arches, each decorated with a sausage which falls on a column with a carved capital.

Church of Saint Nicholas, Villognon

Highlight • Other

The former priory of Saint-Nicolas de Villognon depended on the abbey of Saint-Amant-de-Boixe: shortly after 1040, Geoffroy, Count of Angoulême, donated his villa of Villognon and his estates to the abbey, who will build a church there, polarizing the population. Other donations follow, allowing this priory to develop, with mills, fisheries, communal oven, barn, stable, cellar, dwelling, etc. There are still imposing remains of the old priory dwelling on the south side of the church.
The current church, built in the 12th century, has been extensively remodeled: its facade, the nave, and its north gutter wall. The roofs were mainly made of lauzes (flat limestone).
The facade, rebuilt in the upper part, consists of a very beautiful portal with three arches, sculpted with geometric ornaments, supported by elegant capitals. He is
flanked on either side by two carved panels: the northern one would represent a bishop blessing other characters (some have seen the enthronement of Saint Nicolas there?), while the southern one evokes Saint Michael slaying the dragon, accompanied by another angel (Saint Raphael?). In the upper part, various later sculpted elements have been reused. The presence of the old cemetery located in front of the facade explains the elevation of the ground, thus giving a squat appearance to the portal.
The current building consists of a single nave ending in an apse, preceded by a bay under a bell tower. The interior of the nave has lost its stone vault: only the two columns remain, which must certainly have supported a transverse arch.
The apse, lit by three bays, had a liturgical pool (washbasin) to the south.
