The Antenne Valley is a Natura 2000 special area of conservation located in the Charente-Maritime and Charente regions, in the valley of the Antenne, a tributary on the right bank of the Charente. It covers the entire river and most of its affluents, including the Briou.
It was submitted in March 1999 for 1,173 ha and validated on February 12, 2004, for 1,208 ha.[1]
The valley has been designated a Natura 2000 site, as it is home to seven natural habitats of Community interest, as well as nineteen species of Community interest, some of which have been given priority status: the European mink, bats (chiropterans), and an insect, the rosalia longicorn.[2]
