We leave the banks of the Seugne for the cereal and wine plains: a few trees stand in the middle of the fields, along the streams and give rhythm to the curves of the landscape, up to the river Charente, where we find copses and poplars.

More details
Several estates in these lands of Petite Champagne welcome visitors to taste and discover the products of the vine (check conditions and programmes with the Office de Tourisme de Haute-Saintonge).
About halfway along the route, Pérignac has an exceptional church with a 12th century facade that is a veritable exhibition of sculptures.
At Brives-sur-Charente and Salignac-sur-Charente, estates and châteaux stand majestically in silhouette and bear witness to a rich history, which is reflected in the interpretation trail in the village of Salignac-sur-Charente, which can be reached by following the Flow Vélo towards Cognac.
