Itinérance sur les pas des Maitres Sonneurs entre Berry et Bourbonnais
Randonner sur ce sentier c’est vivre les heures littéraires d’une grande écrivaine qui a marqué le territoire : George Sand. C’est à partir de son roman les Maîtres Sonneurs qu’est créé il y a une trentaine d’années un sentier littéraire en boucle, entre Berry et Bourbonnais, entre La Châtre et Huriel, à travers les départements de l'Indre du Cher et de l'Allier.
