Vibrac Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Pont de Vibrac is an architectural marvel in a green setting. Coming from Chateauneuf Sur Charente, it is the first bridge to cross to reach Vibrac.
Passing in front of the Claude Bonnier monument on the D404, you will discover on the left a succession of 3 charming bridges spanning the different arms of the Charente. Picnic areas, a fisherman's paradise, a haven of peace in lush greenery.

Sireuil Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Coming from Angoulême, before crossing the bridge, pleasure boats for rent line the shore. You will find them scattered across the river during your walk.
Possibility of filling the cans with a drinking water tap. A supermarket in the village allows you to eat all year round, as well as "le Cabanon" at the bridge, open during the season.
In the direction of Cognac, just after crossing the bridge, the white path is particularly poorly maintained, the first 500 meters can cause damage to bicycles if the passage is too fast.
After these 500 meters, a stop at the lock is necessary, a haven of peace with the village of Sireuil in the background.

White Trails of Saint-Simeux

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the most spectacular villages on the banks of the Charente. Coming from Angoulême, the church appears high up on the right. Take advantage of the morning sun to admire the illuminated village and land at the lock to let yourself be lulled by the sound of the river. Note, many herons are visible at this location.
