Come and discover the village of Brossac ! A charming little village, nestled on a hill, whose origins date back to antiquity. This village of 500 inhabitants shelters the vestiges of a villa and a Gallo-Roman aqueduct.
Their presence results from an ancient Roman road, passing nearby, linking Saintes to Périgueux. Built in the 2nd century BC, these ruins have been classified as Historical Monuments since 1875.

Among the other listed monuments to visit, you will find the church Notre-Dame de Brossac. This 12th century Romanesque building was attacked several times during the Hundred Years War. It was partially destroyed, rebuilt and then fortified in the 15th century. True witness of the history of the village, this monument offers a breathtaking view on the heights of Brossac. A bewitching panorama, which is worth the detour.

Ten minutes away by car, you will find the quarries of Guizengeard and their amazing turquoise waters. This habitat, shaped by man, gathers a great diversity of protected species, as well as walking paths... You may even spot the colorful European Bee-eater, the emblem of the place.

If you are looking for ideas for nature outings or family activities, the Vallier pond is for you. This watering place offers several activities on the spot: playgrounds for children, bike rental, fishing, swimming, picnic area, etc. The perfect place to come and recharge your batteries and enjoy the benefits of Mother Nature.

The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité was built in the 12th century. This Romanesque monument has been considerably altered over the years, so that only the foundations are original today.
The walls, for example, were raised shortly after the Hundred Years' War to allow for the construction of refuge rooms in the attic. The Romanesque facade, on the other hand, was reworked during the Gothic period.

The use of grison, a local grey stone that is very common in this part of the Charente, limited the sculpted decoration to its strictest expression, as this stone is unsuitable for sculpture. On the other hand, the church has a painted fresco, rediscovered in the sanctuary during restoration work.

Like all medieval churches, Notre-Dame de Brossac was once surrounded by a cemetery, which was abandoned in 1843. On the outside, in the north wall of the nave, two funerary vaults remain, intended to house the burial of high-ranking.

The church of Saint-Pierre and Sainte-Radegonde was built at the end of the 12th century, beginning of the 13th. It has many elements dating from the Renaissance (chapels, portal, bell tower, bell), which is one of the major interests of the building.
The two chapels, the bell tower and the façade were built in the first half of the 16th century. The church has a bell dating from the 16th century, which makes it one of the oldest in the department.

In the choir of the church is a beautiful wooden altarpiece, dating from the 18th century and protected as a Historic Monument. It is adorned with three painted canvases depicting Saint Peter, Saint Radegonde and the Annunciation.
