A must-see in the area. Ideal circuit in summer, with hills but cool temperatures. In winter, the road often remains wet. Be careful when braking.

The castle of the Dukes of Bourbon was built in 1370 and then restored by Louis II of Bourbon. He made it his favorite residence. From the square, below, where you can have a coffee at the brasserie, you have a superb view of the castle.

Don't miss the Maison de la Combraille, a fun and interactive space dedicated to the territory of the same name. Beautiful abbey and imposing keep in the heart of the village.
