Rouillac is a small town located in the Fins Bois growth area (cru). Its history dates back to Roman times which is reflected in several romanesque churches and Gallo-roman amphitheater in the region. Rouillac is located at the crossroads between Cognac and Ruffec, Angouleme and St. Jean D'Angely on the road D939.

• l'Eglise Saint Pierre This church dates back to the XII century. Its most striking feature is a two level, octagonal bell tower.
