Château de la Roche Courbon

The Chateau de la Roche Courbon, is located in the commune of Saint-Porchaire between Saintes and Rochefort, Charente-Maritime.
Built in the fifteenth century, the castle was profoundly altered in the seventeenth. Were added the arches supporting the balcony on the facade and built the porch and double staircase descending into the French gardens. Following a smooth terrace with balustrades leads, with a magnificent view of East-West, a staircase framing a path of water. The expansion of the gardens reclaimed from the marsh resulted in their partial reconstruction on stilts.
