To do and Discover
The department of la Creuse, named after its river, lies in the Limousin. In this green, sparsely populated area small rivers cross the landscape of gently rolling hills, wooded slopes and hedgerows. 'Creuse' means accordingly 'deep' and 'quiet'. The Creuse valley contains numerous picturesque villages, painted by many artists of the Crozant School. Within a distance of 5 to 25 km, there are nice trips for young and old  such as picnic -and playgrounds by an old watermill or near a Cisterian Abbey. On the river you also find the Chateau de Boussac, where George Sand wrote her novel 'Jeanne'. Here hang wonderful tapestries from the famous collection of Tapisserie d'Aubusson.
