If you don't take the detour from the GR, you'll have to look for the trails west of the summit... but the view is great, weather permitting.

Chaumeil may not seem like much, but this seemingly insignificant village is home to two local celebrities. A charming museum open only during the summer season pays tribute to Jean Ségurel, the famous accordionist born and died in the village. The museum also has a bicycle by Raymond Poulidor, a famous French cyclist born in Masbaraud-Mérignat in the Creuse. The famous “Allez Poupou” is inscribed in the collective memory of cyclists. His duels with Anquetil contributed to the legend of the Tour de France.

Magnificent Sully lime tree. Departure of the hike to Clédat.

The village of Bonnefond has this particularity, like others including Tarnac, of having a four-hundred-year-old tree, here in this case a so-called Sully lime tree. This imposing lime tree has withstood the ravages of time and weather, even if it has been "pampered" in recent years. Adjoining this venerable lime tree, discover the 15th century granite church, of modest construction, and yet whose interior does not leave you indifferent with its floor paved with thick stones, and its oculus on the north wall. Finally, we will be truly impressed, as we can be in every village, by the terrible tribute paid here by the locals during the First World War: 55 lost their lives there, devastating families, ruining the rural fabric, its agriculture and economy. Let's not forget them.

Picnic tables

Beautiful panoramic view to the low mountain range.

At each visit we still discover little things, in particular the exhibition of old plows and other first tools of the time, which are well commented on in the descriptions.

Located in the town of Grandsaigne (19300). From the village, follow the Chapelle de Clédat on the small roads and end up on a passable path. The village dates from the 12th century, it was still occupied in 1900 and was taken over by the Office National des Forêts in the 90s. We pass in front of the Ste Magdeleine Fountain, the following chapel and the bakehouse. The tower of the ruins is dotted with small sculptures and a theme on the life of yesteryear through the first agricultural tools.
