Bélâbre walks

Bélâbre, situated in the Brenne Regional Nature Park in the Indre department, enjoyed a period of prosperity in the 19th century thanks to these four elements used in its tile works, potteries and forges. Earth for raw materials (clay and ore), water to wash and moisten them and to generate energy, air to dry the moulded clay, and fire for firing.
