Base VTT Sud-Est Charente - Circuit VTT n°3

Go through the agricultural plains of Villebois-Lavalette, for colorful landscapes. The circuit is on the first half descending, which will allow you to take time to admire these huge fields of cereals spread out as far as the eye can see. It's Saturday morning, market day! Come and meet our local producers under the Halles. This 17th century building was once the site of a famous cattle fair. Today it is a place of sharing and gathering for all the villagers. You will find everything you need to make your picnic. Before leaving, take a look above your head. You will find an impressive frame and a sundial dating from 1627. Prepare yourself for a short climb to the castle of Villebois-Lavalette. This monument has a path at the foot of the ramparts where you can walk freely. The landscape from the heights is breathtaking! Now, let's go to Ronsenac for a trip full of enchantment. In the center of the village, the legendary fountain is hidden. It is said that if you manage to throw a coin in it with your back turned, you will end up married within a year. Nearby, you will find the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and its priory. Beautiful sculptures adorn the walls of these monuments and a 14th century fresco of a reading monk is painted inside. It is now time to return. But one thing is sure, it is not this tour that will make your legs hurt. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
