French
flavour and culture.

local heritage sites,
seaside towns, beaches and wineries. For outdoor activities, Brossac
offers everything
from hiking trails, horse riding, jet skiing and tennis to golf and
football. Join the locals for a friendly
game of Pétanque. For those who like to take things more
leisurely, enjoy a
relaxing afternoon visiting our art
gallery, vineyards, wineries, or a quiet drink and chat with
the townsfolk at the local bars and restaurants:
try a pineau, One of Charente's gift to the world.
Many
residents of Brossac come and stay for the beautiful scenery, and the
charm of the village shops and services which make the region
