La Couronne

The landscape around La Couronne is low, wooded Charente country crossed by the Boëme, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Just south of Angoulême, the commune has long been linked to paper-making, an activity once supported by local watercourses. Its defining monument is the Abbey of Notre-Dame de la Couronne, founded in the 12th century; the surviving church and conventual ruins provide a strong medieval presence. La Couronne is also part of the wider Angoulême area, known internationally for its annual comics festival. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
