An iconic and relatively well-preserved cross depicting a ram, although called a sheep cross, at the foot of a Templar cross. This building is located on the edge of the road and near a bridge spanning the Vienne River.

A hydroelectric dam offers a view of Lake Chamet and the golf course located on the hill opposite. It's also a beautiful cycle path with beautiful views.

During a mountain bike ride in the middle of the Limousin hills, it is pleasant to stop on the banks of this imposing dam lake to admire its calm waters.
