There is something for everyone... Cultural and historical visits to discover the prestigious Charente heritage, "nature" walks and wine discoveries with tastings but also golf, hiking and cycling, Gabarre rides on the Charente to the rhythm of the water or for those who love stronger sensations: jet skiing, quad biking or 4X4 courses...
