May 18, 2026, Puyfaucher Tower and Church

I went to the indicated point and it doesn't look like the photo of the tower and the church, and there are actually fewer houses in reality than in the photos. I suspect the location is misplaced on the map.

The waterfalls extend over several stages. In the upper part of the valley, the mighty boulders of the 'Champs de Pierres' are also worth noting.

There is a lovely view of the Taurion Valley from this stone bridge. We can see a mill which contributes to the charm of the place.

It is an ancient abbey founded in the 12th century by the Cistercian congregation. It was destroyed during the wars then rebuilt, and sold as national property during the Revolution. Today, the abbey has been rehabilitated as a guesthouse. On the land, a chapel and the ruins of a church still remain.

Bourganeuf is a small medieval town created by the Hospitallers. It is also the third city in France to have seen the appearance of electricity, hence its nickname the city of lights. The town even houses an electrification museum, in addition to its castle, its church and its characteristic Zizim tower.

A tour that can be done with suitable shoes to descend the steep path. The boots are recommended for two who want to make beautiful POVs closer to the falls.

The waterfalls stretch for just over 4 kilometers and are a great place to sit and reflect while listening to the deafening din of rushing water.
