Montbron – a market town and castle
The town of Montbron that lies in the Charente department of the Poitou-Charentes region in the west of France, is a lovely market town that is also noted for its castle and old ramparts. Not only is the town historic and attractive, the countryside in which it lies is nothing less than glorious, and variously described as being reminiscent of Tuscany and even Switzerland!

Bustling and interesting
Because of its history, its castle, ramparts and historic streets and houses, there is plenty of interest in Montbron for lovers of the old France, the France of days gone by. There is also, however, plenty to interest those who are seeking the pleasures offered by a more modern France too, including modern amenities to make everyday life a pleasure, such as easy access to banks, shops, health care and suchlike.
