Droiturier is a Cluniac town, in other words which was long inhabited by the monk of the order of Cluny. Between its opulent medieval half-timbered houses, its priory church and its chapel, you will discover a large part of the local Catholic history.

Bathed by the Rock, the small town of Bert is a pleasant place to pass on the GR 3. A campsite as well as several food shops are open there.

Montcombroux-les-Mines is a former mining town. In 1830, a coal deposit was discovered and the town was rebuilt around it, giving birth to the current town. Today, the town and its 400 inhabitants preserve this bygone era as a souvenir.

This medieval castle is located on the banks of the Besbre. The castle dates from the 10th century and belonged to the noble family of Amboise, who also owned the famous Chateau de Chaumont in the Loire Valley. You can admire the architecture of the castle, which includes two round towers, a fortified gate and a courtyard with polygonal turrets. You can also discover the remains of an old French garden with a central pond. The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but you can enjoy the view from the outside and take some great photos. Jaligny-sur-Besbre Castle is a hidden gem that will make you feel like you've stepped back in time.

This 437 meter summit is part of the Monts de la Madeleine. From the summit, you enjoy a breathtaking view, from the Morvan in the north to the Puys chain in the southwest. It is a great place to relax, breathe fresh air and marvel at the beauty of nature.

It is one of the oldest towns in Bourbonnais. It would have been founded in the year 67 and owes its fame to an important fortified castle whose various lords played a fairly active role in history from the 12th century.
