All-terrain scooters
There’s no better way to discover the area around Fontdouce than on an all-terrain electric scooter, with its undergrowth, valleys, vineyards and heritage of fountains, wash-houses and small hamlets. Quiet and supple, it lets you cross a wide range of natural landscapes with a feeling of floating! There are just a few points to bear in mind: all users must be at least 14 years old, proof of identity is required, a €500 credit card imprint is taken (which is not debited) and the routes are to be downloaded onto your mobile phone (make sure you charge your phone accordingly!).
A wide range of career paths
The vineyard trail
This is a fairly easy and relatively flat route for a first outing on an electric scooter. It takes you along various paths through the vineyards and through the Borderies area surrounding Fontdouce, one of the prestigious vineyards dedicated to the production of Cognac. It offers some very fine views. Allow around 1 hour for this route.

Escapade between woods and valleys
This is a very hilly and somewhat challenging route, which takes in some beautiful undergrowth and a wide variety of landscapes. It also takes in the various streams that flow into the surrounding valleys. It’s a great way to discover the area on an all-terrain electric scooter, and is slightly sportier than the previous route. Allow between 1? and 2 hours to complete the entire circuit.

The 13 fountains circuit
This trail takes in the various wash-houses, springs, wells and fountains that make our region so special. From the small vault hidden under the vegetation to the magnificent, perfectly restored wash-house, this route covers a wide range of what is known as ‘small heritage’. There are some great views to be had on an off-road electric scooter, and the route passes through several hamlets. The route takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete, depending on the time spent at each stage. You could also consider stopping for a picnic near a waterhole.

A rich territory
The advantage of all-terrain electric scooters is that they allow anyone to explore the Charente countryside while recharging their batteries in direct contact with nature: vineyards, woods, valleys, streams, springs, wash-houses, wells and the various picturesque little hamlets in our area – a wealth of environmental and heritage resources, sometimes partially hidden from those who pass by a little too quickly, which are revealed as the various routes unfold.
The thrill of nature
Enjoy the breeze that blows across your face, the scents of spring in the countryside, the colours of the vegetation as it awakens or the discreet crackling of branches as animals move through the forest. All this while riding the electric scooters, which, without making the slightest noise, give you the impression of gliding along at ground level. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, this activity is open to all levels and will give you just as many great sensations!
