Situated at the confluence of the Vienne and Goire rivers, the medieval town of Confolens offers a particularly harmonious group of buildings with its fortified Vieux bridge dating from the 13th century, its beautiful houses sitting along the River Vienne, and its Saint-Maxime church with a Gothic bell tower.
The famous Confolens International Folklore Festival, which takes place every year in August, is an event dedicated to the popular arts and traditions in the world. An event not to be missed!
