Popular around Malval
Fresselines Castle, with its turrets and red tiled roofs, suddenly appears among the trees. It contrasts beautifully with the green of the valley. The view feels almost staged. Not surprising, as this village once inspired painters like Monet. A place where you'll naturally pause for a moment (and probably grab your camera).

In Anzême, at the foot of the village, in the gorges of the Creuse, stands this bridge. Who but the devil could have built a bridge between two such steep rocky ridges? A magnificent view over the Creuse.

Superb village on the banks of the Creuse, and restaurant "L'Auberge des pécheurs" which is worth the detour.
