More cultural side Creuse is full of treasures.
Do not miss the 12th century Château de Boussac in which the famous tapestries of the Lady with the Unicorn were discovered. Clad with the granite walls of the Petite Creuse gorges, the castle offers an impressive spectacle.
In the same area you will not miss the perched village of Toulx Ste Croix whose tower dominates six departments. The magnificent and magnificent view makes you see the Puy de Dôme and the Puy de Sancy. The small Romanesque church of Toulx, separated in two by the road, is a curiosity. Not far from this village the remarkable site of Pierres Jaumâtres inspired Georges Sand for his novel "Jeanne". It is a mass of huge rocks millennia that contributes to the legends and the mystery of the place.
The castle of Villemonteix 14th century fully furnished is also worth visiting. Its architecture is typical of the castles of the Creuse.
The valley of the painters of Creuse was the cradle of the Crozant school where the Impressionists such as Claude Monet worked and left many works representing the landscapes of the Creuse. You will discover painting galleries and museums. The ruins of the old fortress of Crozant from the Xth-XIIth century perched on its rock coiled at the confluence of the Creuse and Sedelle forming a romantic and enchanting landscape. You will end with a relaxing boat trip that will take you to the dam Eguzon sailing through the meanders of the Creuse.
Several remarkable gardens are to visit. My preferences go to the Garden of Sédelle and that of Val Maubrune.
You will not leave the Creuse Without having visited the new international museum of Aubusson tapestry. The Aubusson Tapestry is inscribed in the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" by Unesco. You will find various tapestry exhibitions in several churches and castles of the department.
In Creuse almost all the churches being classified are in perfect condition. They date back to the 12th century. The Sainte Valérie Abbey in Chambon sur Voueize (3rd favorite village of the French in 2016) and the Benevento Abbey, located on the road to Compostela, are pure jewels of 12th century architecture. As for the church of Moutier d'Ahun, it has stalls carved in the 17th century S which are of exceptional beauty.
You will leave without having seen everything obviously, because this is only a sample of what you can discover. Between the monuments, the theme parks, the natural sites, the gardens, the fishing or the sports each one will find activities which will suit him. You will leave Creuse with lots of unforgettable memories. For those who just want to rest, the Creuse is the perfect place to relax.
