The church Saint-André is the oldest church in Angoulême, built in the th century. It was the chapel of the counts Taillefer who had their palaces just opposite. This church suffered numerous damage during the Hundred Years War and religious wars. It was completely restored in the th century. His style is a mixture of novel, Gothic and neo-classical, making it an atypical building. More recently, in 1999, the cartoon writer Yslaire painted a wall in contempt, which also worth a detour.

Très belle église mais on cherche la porte...L'entrée est quelconque, assez classique mais si on fait le tour l'abside romane est remarquable . Elle donne sur le petit square Saint André souvent fort vert et fleuri.

Très belle église cachée en plein cœur de la vieille ville.
Ne pas s'arrêter à la façade austère mais plutôt faire un tour du côté du chevet (square St-André) pour admirer l'architecture romane.
Intérieur original avec une entrée décalée et monumentale et de beaux tableaux représentants la vie de différents saints. Pour mieux la comprendre ne pas hésiter à prendre un guide.

Beautiful church with Romanesque parts in Old Angouleme. Squat bell tower made of white limestone, stone of Angoulême.
