Alloue itself has a rich history and traditional character, with the 12th-century/early 13th-century Church of Notre-Dame, historic buildings, old mills and several châteaux in and around the commune.
For those who enjoy walking and exploring the countryside, the area is particularly appealing. There are several marked walking routes around Alloue, including routes through the hamlet itself, along the Charente and through the surrounding countryside. The Sentier du Gué passes through and neighbouring hamlets, while the Sentier des Landes offers a longer 14.5 km circuit incorporating the river and local pond.
