The main attraction here is the chateau with its original 11th century square and renaissance towers which is still owned by the Rochefoucauld family who can trace their lineage back to 1019 – a very rich family who owned a lot of properties around this part of the Charente & the family descendants still live in the chateau – well worth a visit.
Château La Rouchefoucauld is 34 minutes (34 km) from Puy-Leonard.
