located just a short drive away along gourgeous countryside roads, Château de la Mercerie is a hidden gem in the Charente countryside.

Known as the “Versailles of Charente,” this grand château impresses with its striking architecture and extensive art collection, housed along a beautiful, castle-like gallery. A free audio tour of the château offers a fascinating glimpse into both the building’s history and the brothers who ambitiously restored it.

Perfect for lovers of history, art, and architecture, it makes a fascinating & memorable day trip for guests staying with us at Vive le Vert and it's, 'A must see'!!!
