As you stroll along, you’ll discover the remains of the city walls and fortification towers; through the old city gate, you’ll enter medieval Boussac and wander through its streets and alleyways.
You’ll pass the old mill below the castle and walk alongside the Petite Creuse river, emerging onto the bridge which offers a superb view of Boussac Castle, where the writer Georges Sand once stayed.
Along the Verraux and on the heights of Clugnat
Beautiful hike starting from the municipal lake in Clugnat, along a small country road running alongside the Verraux river and lined with majestic beech trees.
In Poussange (420 m above sea level), there is a lovely viewpoint over the surrounding countryside and Clugnat.
The walk follows a path through fields and woodland.
The return journey crosses a wooden bridge over the river.
The Moulin des Chavailles, starting from Clugnat
Starting from the Clugnat communal lake, you’ll enjoy a picturesque walk along this route of paths, allowing you to appreciate the sounds of nature and the water, whilst admiring the charming Creuse-style granite buildings and old mills. You’ll also be able to enjoy a beautiful view from the heights. This walk can be shortened by going directly from (8) to (15).
South of Bétête
A pleasant walk south of Bétête that will take you to the Fréteix mill on the Petite Creuse.
It passes through several hamlets and offers unobstructed views. An unpretentious, easy walk, just for a leisurely stroll... gazing into the distance. You’ll come across cows, a horse, gardens and restored houses. (And the dog is happy).

Ponds and crosses around Cressat
A relatively easy route, comprising around 80 per cent paths.
Don’t miss the market town and its surrounding villages, its church, its ponds, its wayside crosses and its paths lined with low stone walls.
The Voueize Gorges
A short walk offering the chance to discover the charming village of Chambon-sur-Voueize as well.The walk can be done as a circular route, but only the first half runs alongside the Voueize Gorges. For once, I’d recommend a return walk so you can enjoy the scenery along the riverbanks twice.

In the footsteps of the Master Bell Ringers, between Berry and Bourbonnais, stage 6.
Walk south of Peyrat-la-Nonière
A pleasant little circular, best done on a spring day. The embankments are bursting with wildflowers: orchids, forget-me-nots, Solomon's seals, chickweed, garlic mustard, crosswort, Persian speedwell, bright pink campion... a riot of colour! This is an easy, countryside walk that's perfect for families. There are a few ponds and two pretty castles to discover along the way.
