The Saint-Cybard Church of Plassac-Rouffiac is located in the village of Plassac-Rouffiac, in Charente. Built in the Romanesque style, it was listed as a historic monument in 1862. At the intersection of an ancient Roman road connecting Périgueux and Saintes, known as the "Boisné Road," and a road south of Angoulême, this small church boasts several assets: refined sculpted decoration, harmonious proportions, and a façade enlivened by arcades. The façade is divided horizontally into four levels by cornices: the ground floor with a central portal flanked by blind arcades, the second and third levels occupied by semicircular arches, and the top level topped with a triangular pediment. The single nave is covered with a pointed barrel vault. The false square, topped by a dome on pendentives, supports an elegant bell tower with a stone tortoiseshell spire. https://mairie.plassac-rouffiac.fr/eglises/ https://www.angouleme-tourisme.com/patrimoine-culturel/eglise-saint-cybard-4/ https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Cybard_de_Plassac

Very narrow passage to drive through. You always have to be a little careful.
