Chateau des Chabannes

Highlight • Other

The construction of this building accompanies other buildings from the end of the 19th century, residences of owners of cognac houses. The sponsor of this château would be Baptiste Vert, manager of various cognac companies. It is part of a park that slopes down to the river. The terrace on which it is built is delimited by a stone balustrade serving as a belvedere, at the foot of which a basin with a rockery pierced with caves has been built. The house is formed by a central body supported by two rectangular wings framing a gallery open to the south; two pavilions ending in a round tower to the north, connected by a distribution corridor and framing a protruding winter garden. The building rises on a ground floor on a base, a floor and an attic. Each level is strongly marked by a particular modenature: band, sculpted frieze. The wall apparatus contributes to the variety of this set, each constituent element of which has an original detail: arch frieze, carved door frame ... The interior decor is due to artists of a certain renown: earthenware, decor painted, ironwork ... The most original part of this set is the winter lounge located to the north. It has a mosaic floor, a stucco trellis ceiling, glass slabs, paintings by Lévigne.

Vinade-Bassac bridge

Highlight • Other

Here we find a superb bridge that the GR 4 borrows. The Charente residences along the Charente are sumptuous, the abbey of Bassac a few hundred meters away is also worth the detour.

A haven of peace, in the shade of the bridge, the view of the Charente buildings is worth a stop.
