Following the gentle curves of the Charente River along La Coulée Verte offers a wonderful escape into peaceful natural scenery. Set along the historic old towpath, this picturesque walking and cycling route provides a tranquil green corridor free of traffic, making it ideal for a leisurely afternoon outing.

Green corridors and gentle riverside paths

• Historic towpath: Follow smooth, traffic-free tracks once used by heavy barges pulled along the river current.
• Scenic river views: Enjoy continuous vistas of calm waters, stone bridges, and abundant local birdlife.
• Shaded cycling routes: Pedal effortlessly through green canopies and sunlit meadows alongside the flowing Charente.

Return to the peace of our hilltop and gardens

Following a relaxing ride along the water, the pleasant drive back leads you directly to the tranquil heights of our estate. Cool off with a refreshing dip in our illuminated pool as evening falls, or unwind in the peace of our hilltop gardens while taking in the astonishing scenery of the surrounding Charentais landscape.

Warm greetings,
