A very pleasant walk to discover the beautiful village of Gargilesse, its eponymous river and the banks of the Creuse.

A fairly demanding long loop that allows you to walk along or above the Creuse and discover its tributary, the Petite Creuse. Monet painted these banks many times, and with good reason! This hike is best done when the trees are still bare. IBP56 rating
