You only have to stroll for a few minutes through this pretty Charente town to understand the rich history of Saint-Jean-d’Angély. Its heritage is revealed along winding narrow streets in which medieval houses with wood panelling sit beside mansion houses from the XVIII Century. There are so many wonderful discoveries for a small town of 7,000 inhabitants. It feels like a journey through the ages…It’s from the top of the towers at the abbey church, unfinished since the Revolution, that the green and undulating countryside reveals itself. A truly beautiful journey!
