Verteuil-sur-Charente, Charente 16510

A 16th century house restored by the Compagnons du Devoir and garden in a picturesque village on the banks of the River Charente, between Angoulme and Poitiers. The house is built at the foot of a colossal chteau built on the rocky outcrop overlooking it to the north. The building stretches along the beginning of a cul-de-sac that splits off into a Y-shape from the village's main street. It has three storeys and an exceptional view of the chteau. The main facade faces south. The garden extends to west/east above the retaining wall, at the level of the house's second floor. The house's roof is covered in terracotta canal tiles. The surrounding landscape is made up of fields and woods.
