EDB 06 Charente
The entire navigable Charente between Angoulême and the Atlantic
The Charente is a coastal river 361 km long and is navigable on the section between the city of Angoulême and the Atlantic Ocean. The river is divided into two sections: The canalised section between Angoulême and Saint-Savinien where you will find 21 locks and the section between Saint-Savinien and the Atlantic Ocean without locks. Up to Rochefort the river is navigable downstream for inland vessels.
20 of the 21 locks are automated. The only exception is the lock at Saint-Savinien.
The advantage of automatic operation is that the locks are rarely closed even in very dry and low water. In high summer however the draught above Jarnac is limited.
In this waterway guide the focus is mainly on the estuary and so you will find detailed information about the town of Fouras and the coastal town of Rochefort. In addition you will also find a map of the river Boutonne.
