Champagne Mouton - a traditional market town

Champagne Mouton is a traditional small market town that is found in the Charente department in the west of France. Easily reached from the UK by air, rail or road, the town is ideally located for further exploration of the region and its many attractions. The town also retains some interesting and important heritage, and is set in the gentle, rolling countryside typical of the region.

Ancient architecture and artefacts on offer

Champagne Mouton is an attractive, Charantaise town with many original features and some important monuments. The church has been named as French National Monument since the 1800s, and is well worth a visit if you enjoy ancient architecture and artefacts. There is also an original Lavoir, or communal wash house in the town, which is in good condition and creates an interesting picture of life as it used to be in Champagne Mouton.

Amenities available in the town

Although the overall atmosphere is tranquil and rural, Champagne Mouton makes some concessions to the necessities of modern life in providing a useful range of small shops and services for its inhabitants and visitors. You can also enjoy a drink in a local bar or a meal out in the restaurant, while a more traditional pleasure might be to meander around the street market that sets up every Tuesday and Friday morning.
