Still more interesting is La Roche Corail below Angouleme on the river Charente, opposite Nersac and the confluence of the Boeme with the Charente. Where is now a bridge was formerly a ford. The castle of Nersac commanded one side of the valley, and La Roche Corail the other. This cliff castle was at one time very extensive.
I do not in the least suppose that Calvin saw any beauty in the view through the gap in the rock not in the island below with its poplars and willows whose branches trail in the bottle-green waters of the Charente not in the lush meadows with the yellow flags fluttering by the waterside not in the grey towers of Nersac castle and church rising above dark woods, flushed orange in the setting sun against a purple sky.
