Chaméane (rivière) walks

After passing between the fountain and the Cluniac cloister, you will discover the Quai des Coufferts, its leat and its half-timbered house. You will visit the interior of the Picondry Volcano (Petit Lemptégy). From there, you will have a panoramic view of the Chaîne des Puys and the plain. On the way back, you will enjoy beautiful landscapes and a view of Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges (its castle and bell tower). Then you will pass by the waterfall dating from 936, along the leat of the monks and a wash house.

Why take the road from Sauxillanges to Usson and back again? Why not walk instead? Come and discover this wild trail that links a Cluniac site to the volcano in one of the most beautiful villages in France. And once in Usson, why not admire the 360° view from the top of the hill?

You will pass between the fountain and the Cluniac cloister. Approach the gate to admire it. You will go via the Quai des Coufferts with its canal, sundial and half-timbered house with basalt window surrounds. Then, enjoy magnificent views of Sauxillanges, the Chaîne des Puys, Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges (its castle and bell tower). On the way back, take the time to visit the waterfall built in 930, where you will walk along the leat of the monks and the wash house. A lovely outing.
