04-Aug-2015 -- I had put my tent at Hallmark Holidays, a small campsite, at 20 km NNW (46.14795°N 0.112686°W) of the DCP that I intended to visit the next day. Although it was in the beginning of August, the holiday month for the French people, I was all alone which I liked.

Next morning I took the D737 to Chef-Boutonne, to Loubillé, and finally through Longré. 250 m after the last house of Longré I turned left at a tire station. Following this road for 1250 m and turning sharp left at the crossroads I parked my car after 1150 m in La Charrière and started walking.

Following the edge of the field between me and the DCP I had to deviate from desired track until I reached a double row of trees in which a dry river was hidden.

Following the river I returned to the desired track. The DCP is in a vast field at 170 m of a road. I could have driven by car to this point, but my car navigation did not show this road. The field was already harvested. I walked to the DCP, building up a clay layer under my shoes. In a detailed photograph the enormous amount of stones in the soil is shown.

The photographs looking North, East, South and West show a relative flat agricultural area.

A collection of flowers and a couple of snails is collected; the white flower on top-right is a variant of the blue one. The snails are preparing new snails.

About 14 km NW of the DCP, in Javarzay close to Chef-Boutonne is a beautiful castle (46.1089°N 0.08352°W). Inside is a museum with a section about Jean-François Cail, a talented inventor, constructor and industrial genius of the 19^th century, see Wikipedia (in French).

For those who like cognac, the city of Cognac is only 40 km SW of the DCP.
