FURTHER AFIELD...
SAINT-AUBIN-DE-
CADELECH (9 km)
Just before the village,
a lovely view awaits the
walker. A charming little
Romanesque church
with a Saintonge-style
carved portal stands
at Cadalech. Nearby
there’s a XVIIth century
farm and dovecote.
THÉNAC (13 km)
Thénac Castle was built
on the ruins of a priory
mentioned from 1109.
The village is the starting
point for walking hikes.
Don’t miss the wonderful
Bastide of Puyguilhem,
founded in 1265 by
Jean de Grailly, for
the King of England.
MONESTIER (16 km)
Founded around 1284
by officers of the King of
England, the village has
preserved traces which
are an indication of the
old Bastide’s location.
Do visit the Romanesque
church and the arcaded
house known as “the
Governor’s House”.
