Confolens: Where the Confluence Rivers Meet
One of the two sub-prefectures located in the Department of Charente is the town of Confolens, France. Recently, the Saint-Germain-de-Confolens was merged with the town; hence, a bigger area has come about. The beautiful river of Vienne flows through the rural area alongside the river of Goire. Sometimes, locals call the town as “Charente Limousine,” after the two departments that connect in town.
Best Time to Visit
Confolens only experiences a short period of warm weather that is between July and August. Rain is also a pretty common event in town. The months of June and September also has favorable weather and thus, would be the best months to drop by for a visit. However, these months fall under the summer season, so expect many tourists in town and Confolens hotels to have costly rates.
