Lichères (French pronunciation: [liʃɛʁ]) is a commune in the Charente department in southwestern France. It straddles the river Charente comprising the villages of Lichéres, La Salle and Puychenin. The village of Lichéres is home to a 12th-century Catholic church dedicated to Saint Denis. Saint Denis of Lichéres has been considered a Monument historique since 1903.[3] Although there is a conventional road bridge across the river Charente near La Salle, there is also a very small ferry called a Barque. The Barque is guided by a steel wire with which users propel the boat.
