Enjoy this viewpoint to admire the Crainseny viaduct, which spans the valley of the same name. Built at the end of the 19th century, this 246-meter-long railway structure has 16 stone arches. It once allowed trains to connect Saint-Gengoux-le-National to Montchanin, until the line ceased operation in 1969.
