Beautiful connection alternating white slopes, paths, a little tarmac through this part of the Creuse. The Creuse is very green. The slanderous or jealous will say that it's because it often rains and that's why the British settle there, which is still a problem for those who live here and who want to buy.. It's also green because there is a lot of water: ponds, streams, rivers... Special mention for the edge of Gartempe after Fursac, the Étang de Néravaud and Bridiers…
