daily.
Presentation
Welcome to the “Villages de Pierres et de Vignes” to discover the discrete charms of the West Charente. During your walks, go to discover these small villages atypical and let yourself be surprised by their authenticity.
On the agenda
In the heart of Grande-Champagne, this town bears witness to a rich past and still retains the traces of an unusual history. Lignières-Sonneville takes its name from the culture of flax going back to antiquity and today replaced by the vine. The municipality, animated by a constant concern for the preservation of its heritage, knew how to perpetuate and maintain its know-how.
We will draw your attention to 3 points:
1 – The castle of the seventeenth century surrounded by moats offers a green setting ideal for walkers.
2 – La Charmille and its park, former dependency of the castle, welcomes today the Little House of linen where you will discover the ancestral know-how of the weaving by the reconstitution of a workshop of the XIXth century.
3 – The church of Notre-Dame of the 12th century and its traditional houses which surround it draw with harmony a borough of character.
