Cellefrouin
“For the sale of milk, we prefer to go together to count the change. The grannies of Cellefrouin are nice even with their prickly kisses. Tonight, it’s the guy we don’t like, the one who goes every Sunday on his moped to see his dirty movie in Chasseneuil, the city of stores.”
Excerpt from the novel Des orties et des hommes
After N’entre pas dans mon âme avec tes chaussures, Paola Pigani continues to explore the Charente. The writer decides to tell the story of her childhood in the small village of Cellefrouin.
She dramatizes her past as a little girl in a family of Italian immigrants. Of this language, she only knows the few words stolen here and there from her parents. Her native language is French. She depicts this village, the work in the fields, the care of the cows and the daily life in the 1970s in the countryside.
With its 500 inhabitants, the commune of Cellefrouin is a pleasant place. It is home to the church of Saint-Nicolas, the oldest in the Angoumois region, and a twelve-meter high lantern for the dead, classified as a historical monument since 1886.
More than 50 hamlets are scattered over the whole surface of Cellefrouin.

Cellefrouin is home to two exceptional monuments: the church of Notre-Dame dating from the 11th century, the oldest in the whole of Angoumois, but also a lantern for the dead located in the cemetery.
