A footbridge that provides access to the city center, allowing you to stroll, observe the flora and fauna, and enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the Touvre River. https://www.ville-ruellesurtouvre.fr/2020/05/05/les-passerelles/ https://ruelle-histoire.jimdofree.com/passerelles/

Footbridge connecting the villages of Fissac and Les Seguins, built in 1912. A first wooden footbridge, completed in 1894, provided access for the children of Fissac to the Les Seguins school. Aging poorly, it was demolished a few months after the construction of the second. Only a masonry clump in the middle of the Touvre River remains as a reminder of its existence.

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

15th century stone bridge known as that of the Château de la Rochefoucauld. From the building, there is a superb view of the imposing castle and the waters of the Tardoire. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1935. The castle, renowned for being one of the most beautiful and oldest in Charente, can be visited all year round. It is the only castle in France that has been inhabited by the same family for more than 1,000 years. Do not miss !

In the heart of Charente, the Château de la Rochefoucauld stands like a page of history mixed with an enchanted tale. Built around the 16th century on the site of an 11th century fortress, this gem has been cherished by the same family since its earliest days. And that’s something! Strolling through its rooms or admiring the landscape from its towers, you feel the weight of history. It's as if the castle whispers to us both history lessons and stories of adventure.

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.

The passage in the tunnel under the railway line is narrow. The best thing is to signal yourself to other cyclists with a little ring of the bell.
