# BETWEEN THE CITY AND NATURE

Combining a rich and fascinating history with rolling green landscapes, Grand Angoulême offers contact with nature without having to travel far.
On foot, by bicycle or boat, there are plenty of ways to discover the many facets of the area!

# OPEN SPACES

Whether you fancy a leisurely walk or a sporting challenge, the 38 municipalities of the urban area have plenty of natural spaces for you to explore, from the riverbanks of the Charente or the Touvre, to the limestone valleys, vineyards and forests.

On foot or by bicycle, discover a variety of landscapes from a new perspective with:
• 6,000km of signposted trails,
• The 20km of the Coulée Verte (former canal towpath),
• The 19km of the Périph’vert – a nature trail to discover the city from another angle,
• The 290km of the Flow Vélo (a cycle path linking the Atlantic Ocean to Périgord).

Are you a fan of water sports? The lake is an ideal spot for swimming, sailing or enjoying a picnic.
