Directions
When coming from the ports along the northern French coast, always head towards Rennes, Nantes, and then Bordeaux. Avoid passing through any towns along the way until you reach the A10. Take exit 34 at St. Jean d'Angely and bypass the town, following the D939 towards Angouleme. Stay on the D939 until you reach the charming village of Siecq. Once in the village center, turn left at the small crossroads next to the bar. Keep going for approximately 1 kilometer, passing the "Coucoussac" sign. Stay on the road, keeping to the left, and you will enter Rue de Bellevue. After 50 meters, you will see a large arch in a tall stone wall - and there you are! You have arrived. If approaching from any other direction, locate the D939 (the main route between La Rochelle and Angouleme) and search for Siecq, which is located midway between Matha and Rouillac. Once in Siecq, follow the directions mentioned above.
