Lac de Sidiailles from Allier

Highlight • Lake

What you don't see when you walk here: this lake exists thanks to sheer stubbornness.
When the La Joyante River was dammed in the 1970s, no one believed the lake would ever amount to anything. Too isolated, too wild.
But nature had other plans.
Today, the water is so calm that you almost forget how much effort it once took to tame this landscape.

La Toque

Highlight • Castle

La Toque à Huriel is one of the few quadrangular donjons from the 12th century remaining in France. You can explore the impressive medieval fortress, which was once the residence of the powerful lords of Huriel, and admire the panoramic view from the top of the tower. The dungeon also houses a museum which presents the local heritage and culture of Huriel.

Huriel

Highlight • Historical Site

There are two beautiful listed 13th century monuments in this small Bourbon town with a feudal past: the Romanesque church of Notre-Dame and the donjon de la Toque, the remains of an old castle. Alain-Fournier and Georges Sand talk about it with tenderness in their novels.

Small fishing lake perfect for a short break in the shade, at the water's edge. Just outside the village of Archignat. No swimming.
