This discreet vineyard in the Bourbonnais landscape dates back to the Gallo-Roman era. It is said to be one of the oldest vineyards in France. It has withstood the railway and phylloxera. Today, from this trail, you can explore its southeast-facing slopes and admire the landscapes of the Allier.

Small ford with a hard bottom without difficulty in crossing.

A concrete ford that is easily crossed when the level allows it... otherwise there is the footbridge.

Wonderful hike, except the beginning, which we extend to work on our cardio. Avoid walking along streams in April. There were lots of butterfly caterpillars that fell on us, over 2 km. Nothing too bad. The decor is worth it. Don't forget at the end of the hike to go to Charroux, a picturesque little village with lots of memories to bring back, it's 12 km away. Good walk

There you will encounter these steep stairs cut into the rock, which will test your endurance and reward you with breathtaking views.

This viewpoint offers an exceptional panorama of the former Saint-Vincent Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 6th century by Queen Anne of kyiv. You can admire the remains of the fortified enclosure, the church, the cellars and the grottos which testify to the rich past of this place. You will appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of nature as you pass by this historic site.
