    Hiking

    Mighty granite rocks at the Allier Valley. Unfortunately, we could not get close, as the path to the pastures were demarcated.

    The Bounou Rock is both a geological and historical curiosity. It is the remains of the ancient Rochelaure castle, built on a granite tor, that is, on a rocky relief that was formed by the erosion of the surrounding soil.
