LA ROCHE COURBON is located in Saint-Porchaire between Saintes and Rochefort in the Charente-Maritime.
Built in the XV° century, the château was substantially altered in the XVII°. The arcade which supports the balcony was added to the façade, as was the double flight of steps which leads down to the French gardens where a series of well-integrated terraces with balustrades leads to the magnificent east-west views and to the steps flanking a water-course. The extension of the gardens gained on the marsh has led to their partial reconstruction on pilotis.
Inside :
• A room with pictures painted on wood in 1662
• Louis XIII room with painted beams
• The saintongeaise kitchen
• Guard room with vaulted ceiling

In the keep there is a museum containing prehistoric objects, and, in the south park, there are pre-historic caves, the homes of Neanderthal man.
