La Creuse

Not well known even by the French, the Creuse area is the first really rural country that you discover as you drive southwards from Paris.

Immersed in the heart of the countryside, La Creuse is both beautiful and tranquil with many path, hills, forests, and lakes to discover and enjoy.

One of the best lakes in the area is Vassivière lake, 60 km away.

The Creuse area is famous for Aubusson town, 50 km away, a centre of tapestry, with museums and art exhibitions.

You can visit :
- 15 km : the painted church Sous-Parsat (20th century)
- 18 km : the beautiful village of Moutier d’Ahun, where you can see the ancient abbey and a roman bridge
- 20 km : Masgot village, with unusual sculptures (early 20th century)
- 30 km : the town of Boussac, with its castle (14th century) and an agricultural machines museum

Mainly during spring and summer, you can find Concerts, historical reconstructions, summer feasts which are primarily held for the local people, but all are welcome.
