TO SEE QUICKLY! The village of Saint-Simon is centrally situated between Cognac and Angouleme in the Charente department (Poitou-Charentes region) of France. Spread out along the Charente river, Saint-Simon developed around the river itself and the related trades that carried out their business on the river, transporting salt, wood, paper, military equipment etc. The village had a thriving port until the 19th century, after which time the railways gained importance as the main transport system. It is still the river that attracts visitors to Saint-Simon, although it is hard now to imagine that until 200 years ago it was a major port. After taking a stroll along the river banks you can learn more of the important history of the Charente River and also Saint-Simon itself in the 18th century 'Maison des Gabarriers'. During the summer months it is possible to take a trip along the river on a traditional boat, known as a 'gabarre' – these were also constructed in the village during several centuries. A nice way to see the village, work areas and the surrounding countryside the trip takes about an hour and is open May to October. See Village Gabarrier for details. Apart from the Charente river and quais, other highlights include the centre of the village itself, the 12th century roman style Church of Saint-Sigismond and the entrance to the cemetery.
