Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Montluçon
Montluçon is distinguished by an urbanity of stones, courtyards and passages that draw a geography to rediscover in short circuit. The city has a good taste between the old and quieter areas, where the atmosphere changes from a quarter of an hour to another. Rhythm remains the best entry door.
Gorge
Gorges du Cher
The gorges of the Cher offer marked relief, clear observation points and natural corridors that require conscious walking. We understand the site better when we alternate progress along the course and pauses to see how the banks change the sound and light.
Gorge
Gorges de la Sioule
The gorges of the Sioule have a landscape force based on the depth of the valley and the winding lines of the bed. Short shifts to successive viewpoints give a true readability. The oblique light brings out textures and strata of the relief with great precision.
