Activities/Attractions: Moncontour, famous for a battle between Catholic and Huguenots in 1569, houses an 11th century Donjon which can be seen from the grounds of Le Grand Saule Chambre d'Hote. It is also rumoured that Sir Walter Raleigh planned an attack on the Donjon with General Coligny, whilst sitting at a fireplace of one of the village houses. The village is also famous for its ancient lavoirs (riverside wash houses).
A paradise for fishermen and nature lovers alike - the area offers opportunities for walking, cycling, birdwatching, horse riding, golf, watersports, flying, history and culture.
