Situated on the Richard C?ur de Lion Route and in the Parc Naturel Périgord Limousin, the commune of Les Salles Lavauguyon is famous for its church, a masterpiece of Limousin Romanesque art. Discover the commune via its many hiking trails, or in a playful way on the Terra Aventura trail! And don't forget to visit the café associatif Chabatz d'entrar, next to the church (their events can be found on their Facebook page).

[Visitor restrictions, barrier in place for works] Les Salles-Lavauguyon church and priory, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, are under the protection of Saint-Eutrope, the first bishop of Saintes. The portal is representative of Saintongeois Romanesque art. On the reverse of the façade, 4 bands illustrate the Old Testament: on the right, the nave walls depict Temptation, with Adam and Eve driven from Paradise; on the side walls, the martyrdoms of Saint Valérie and Saint Agathe; on the left, symmetrically, the massacre of the Holy Innocents, and the martyrdoms of Saint Laurent and Saint Christophe. A rich décor of foliage and animals adorns the nave?s historiated scenes. At the entrance to the choir, 2 frescoes depict Boso de Rochechouart and his successor Barnard at the head of the priory. Sixteenth-century frescoes complete the decor.

Behind the Lavaud dam lies a huge lake, downstream from the source of the Charente. Its shores and beaches are ideal for hiking and swimming. Children?s games, a picnic area and pedal-boat hire are available for family fun. A restaurant and self-catering cottages are also available for a waterside stay. Swimming is supervised from July 8 to August 27, from 1:30 pm to 7 pm. Unsupervised beach on Tuesdays.

Situated on the border of the Charente and in the Périgord-Limousin Natural Park, Videix is known today thanks to the Chassagne beach and lake. Built on the Charente River, the site attracts locals and tourists alike thanks to its facilities: beach, children's playground, picnic area, restaurant, hamlet of gîtes, pedal boats in summer? Take a stroll around Videix on one of the two hiking trails: you'll appreciate the peace and quiet, the natural surroundings and the special features of its built heritage.

This medieval castle from the 12th and 15th centuries, now in ruins, is located in the heart of the village of Lavauguyon. The castle, built on a slope, dominates the Tardoire in a remarkable setting. The interior of the château comprised two vast main buildings and a large chapel. Abandoned in the 18th century, it was dismantled during the French Revolution of 1789. From the outside, you can see the remains of the square porch keep and the curtain walls of the main enclosure, flanked by four corner towers and surrounded by fairly well-preserved moats. This site is maintained and preserved by the commune of Maisonnais-sur-Tardoire and the association "Les amis de Lavauguyon". The association regularly hosts volunteer workcamps, and offers introductory workshops in masonry and stonemasonry for the general public.

This portal features a recessed tombstone, described as the effigy of a sleeping knight standing upright. The tombstone is surrounded by the coats of arms of the Maisonnais families (La Périsse des Cars de Lavauguyon, the Fontlebon du Puy, the Gros de Vaud de l'Age).

All-flower honey, gingerbread, wax, polish, hive products in general. Introductory courses in beekeeping, beginners' courses. Store: grocery store in the village of Maisonnais sur Tardoire

Dedicated to Saint-Pierre, Maisonnais sur Tardoire's church was first built in the 11th century, then enlarged in the 16th century and repaired in 1733. The bell tower, destroyed by lightning in 1820, retains a floor dating back to the origins of the building. It features three Romanesque arcades on each side. A small wooden belfry tops the west end of the nave. A simple door opens onto the 11th-century nave. This communicates with the 16th-century nave, which features three pointed arches. On the other hand, the 16th-century nave has three bays with ribbed vaults, liernes and formets, as well as escutcheons decorating the keystones of the vault. The church's furnishings include a 12th-century limestone sarcophagus and a Roman vat.

Chéronnac is located in the Périgord-Limousin Natural Park. The Charente river rises here, hence the village?s ancient name: Carentenago. The church is built on the site of a chapel, itself built on a motte castrale. The church was fortified until La Fronde. Not to be missed: the 13th-century portal and latch, and a 17th-century funerary liter painted with the Rousiers coat of arms. Situated on the banks of the Tardoire, the Peyrassoulat site, classified as a ZNIEFF, boasts exceptional flora: two enormous plane trees spread their branches over a width of some forty meters, and four yew trees have been present on the site for over 500 years. If you pass through the village of Montoume, you will be struck by the color of the stone of the houses. This red rock is in fact an impactite formed when a meteorite fell some 200 million years ago.

In the 9th century, a chapel was built on a motte castrale, which was replaced by a church in the 11th century. It was then fortified until the 17th century. The bell tower was thus transformed into a hoarding. In 1649, Monsieur de Pompadour, the King's Lieutenant in Limousin, ordered the destruction of the fortifications to punish the Seigneur de Chéronnac, one of the heroes of the Fronde. The church door features an attractive 13th-century lock. The building is also home to a 15th-century mural depicting a funeral tablet bearing the coat of arms of Monsieur de Rouziers, Seigneur de Chéronnac.

After a swim at La Chassagne beach, head to Le Treiz'Or, named after the river that feeds this part of the lake.
