Hiking
A beautiful route full of variety!
A delightful loop of approximately 8 km that includes everything: views of the Château de Chabenet, a stop at the charming Château du Petit-Broutet, the unique Pont Couvert bridge, and the impressive Viaduc de la Bouzanne.
The mix of riverbanks, forests, and open fields ensures you'll constantly encounter a new setting. There are plenty of quiet spots along the way to pause and enjoy the surroundings. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy combining culture and nature.

The castle was built during the reign of Louis XI and was completed in 1471. In 1635, it was partially dismantled by Cardinal Richelieu. In the 1980s the castle was bought by a businessman who started to renovate it to make it a hotel, but this project never came to fruition and became the hotel it is today. today than when it was purchased by the Hapimag Group. Popstar Michael JAckson visited the castle in the 1990s and it was rumored that he wanted to buy it.
