  • The vineyard trail: a 1-hour walk around the Borderies and Fins Bois vineyards, two of the six crus from which our prestigious Cognac is made. The route is flat and suitable for novices.
  • Escape between woods and valleys: around 1h30 of walking between pretty views over the valleys and hilly forest areas. This route is the most challenging of the three, offering as many beautiful views as it does thrills.
  • The 13 fountains trail: around 2 hours of walking and discovering the small heritage sites of the Charente region. This trail is relatively flat and accessible to all.
