DISCOVER THE AREA

The landscape of the Creuse in central France is hilly. Besides plenty of space and tranquility, the Creuse has a lot more to offer. Our B&B is an ideal base for hikers, sporty cyclists, water lovers, culture fanatics, peace seekers and bon vivants.

FOR THE SPORTSMAN

• You can hike endlessly as there is a wide selection of hiking trails for all levels covering a total of no less than 2,500 kilometers. From a delightful one-hour walk through the rolling countryside to multi-day hikes. Look at our 8-day hiking holiday here!
• In addition, the Creuse is a true Walhalla for the sporty cyclist. You can go mountain biking through the forest, or make miles on a road bike or e-bike on the small asphalt roads.
• Go for a day of golf on one of the two 18-hole courses at a fifteen or half-hour drive from us.
• For the water enthusiast, the many lakes offer a variety of water sports such as supping, pedal boats, swimming, canoeing, fishing, etc.
• Explore the area in our Mazda MX-5 convertible that is available for rent. In this sporty car, you’ll see the area through completely different eyes. Browse local markets for the most delicious regional products. Want to picnic somewhere along the way? We provide a complete basket, where everything is provided for. The conditions for renting the convertible can be found here.

FOR THE CULTURE LOVER

• CASTLES, churches, and abbeys tell you all about the history of the area. Like the castles of Villemonteix, Sarzay and Boussac. The Domaine de George Sand, the Château d’Ars, and the ruins of Crozant and St. Sévère are also impressive.
• TOWNS and villages such as La Châtre, Argenton sur Creuse, Bourganeuf, Boussac, and Aubusson are worth visiting. Aubusson, the carpet city where, among other things, the famous Gobelins come from, was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2009. The painter and writer village of Gargilesse is also well worth a visit. Historic towns and villages nearby were and still are a source of inspiration for artists.
• MUSEA; There is an array of large and small museums in the area. One of the most famous is the George Sand Museum. Also recommended are the Tapestry Museum in Aubusson and the Museum of Art and Archaeology in Guéret. Also of great interest is the agricultural museum Maison des Traditions in Chassignolles. Hotel Lépinat in Crozant is dedicated to the Impressionist painters who frequently stayed there, but the tile factory les Tuileries de Pouligny in Cheniers and the sculpture village of Masgot also belong to this list.
  In Sainte Sévère sur Indre, there is a museum dedicated to Jacques Tati’s famous film Jour de Fête. The entire village acted as actors in this 1947 film.
  Very impressive is Oradour. On June 10, 1944, the entire population of this village was massacred by the Germans. The men were shot in the streets, and the women and children were burned in the church. In memory of this terrible tragedy, the village has been left in the state in which it was found at the time. A memorial center has been set up near it. “Qu’il n’y aura jamais plus une guerre!” “So that there will never be war again!”.

FOR THE PEACE SEEKER

• The variety of gardens in the area is an oasis of tranquility. Such as Le Parc naturel des Parelles and L’Arboretum de la Sédelle.
• Contemplate for a moment the tower of Toulx-Sainte-Croix at 655 meters, where on a clear day you can look out over 7 departments and see the Puy de Dôme. Nearby are les Pierres Jaumatres, a very special natural phenomenon, to which the Dutch dolmens are nothing.
• Pamper yourself completely in the Spa & Wellness nearby and enjoy a wonderful massage.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES

• There is also plenty to do for children. Head out and visit the wolf park.
• Let them clamber and climb in the climbing forest.
• Or go to one of the many lakes nearby and rent a pedal boat, go supping, swimming, or canoeing.
