Angle sur L'Anglin (34minutes from La Plauderie ) with it’s striking ruined cliff-top castle is widely acknowledged as one of the most beautiful villages of France and its medieval streets testify to its rich historical past (it was the last stronghold of the English in the hundred years war).   
                      

If you know where to look there are some quiet secluded spots to fish or relax and paint (the area attracts many artists) and where you can slip into ‘relax mode’ with ease.                                             

On the first Sunday of August there is a spectacular fireworks display with the castle and the river as a backdrop. The spectacle begins at 10.30 pm and with a Fete in the afternoon you can spend a very pleasant day here.
