Departure from Éguzon-Chantôme (Indre)
Having grown up in Éguzon until I was ten before moving to Limoges, I still have fond memories of my escapades along the sunken lanes of this village in the former Marche region. In the realm of chestnut trees, ferns and Limousin cattle, let yourself wander, loiter and stroll through the bocage of dry stone walls and hollow-trunked trees. Try your hand at hunting the dahut as night falls. Rediscover your inner child by taking your time and letting your calves do the walking
