It is part of the beautiful village of Mosnac-Saint-Simeux and is accessed by a bridge. It is nestled in a green valley and sheltered by the river that surrounds it, so it is a very quiet place. You can discover the banks of Charente while taking a canoe, paddle or bike ride. The Flow Vélo, a bike path, is less than a 1-minute walk from the island. Unless you prefer to go hiking to discover the beautiful surrounding trails. For a cultural getaway, the island is ideally located between Angoulême and Cognac, respectively 25 and 45 minutes' drive away. These cities have the city of art and history label and many festivals and events are scheduled there throughout the year. There are many villages and sites to visit as well as many activities close to the island.
