Pic nic spot Source de la Charente - Chéronnac

Ideally situated in the village centre, relax and enjoy this peaceful spot before setting off on one of the three way-marked footpaths : the chemin de la Météorite de Montoume, the circuit des platanes, and the circuit des diligences.  This is more than just a picnic spot – it is also the source of the river Charente ! 

 Javerdat 

Coming from Saint-Junien, the picnic area is on your right.  Two way-marked footpaths start at Javerdat :  le sentier des landes et le sentier de la Perrière. There is also an interpretation trail ‘’le parcours de l'arbre et l'abeille " (the tree and the bee).  Javerdat is only a few minutes by car from Oradour-sur-Glane..

There is a picnic area near the lake and the Meteorite camp-site - ideal for a spot of fishing or just sit back and relax and enjoy the view of the castle and the twisted church spire.  And after enjoying your picnic take a stroll along the « le sentier de l'astroblème de Rochechouart Chassenon » footpath which passes next to the lake and below the castle.  Rochechouart is also the starting point for five way-marked footpaths : the circuit de la Météorite,  the circuit vers le chêne de Bramefan, the circuit aux portes de la Charente, the circuit des Crêtes, and the circuit de la Cigogne.
