アザット・シャトーネのおすすめツーリングルート

The Porte Saint-Jean is one of the old city gates of La Souterraine. What you see now is modest, but in the Middle Ages it was a serious entrance to the walled city. Why it's nice: This was literally the city's checkpoint. Anyone who wanted to enter was examined here. The name probably refers to a nearby chapel or hospital of Saint-Jean. You're essentially walking through a 13th-14th-century section here, without it being ostentatious. What many people miss: La Souterraine was an important stop on a side route of the pilgrimage route to Santiago. It's likely that pilgrims, traders, and soldiers passed through here centuries ago.

A very impressive castle that is worth a visit.

The view from the fortress into the river valley is breathtaking and this place is worth visiting at least once.

Benevent- the abbey is a pretty and dynamic little town in Creuse… passage compostelle: see the tourist office 😅… or m. The Mayor, inexhaustible about his city 👍 Brevent? Not know…

La Grosle or Graule is a granite group of two blocks. Their superposition in a precarious balance is surrounded by a legend. The crows would come there to celebrate their engagement, hence the name of the site taken from the dialect word for crows.

The Saint-Jean gate is one of the emblems of La Souterraine. It was used to defend the city and was remodeled in the 15th century. We admire the two round turrets visible on the exterior facade. The door can be visited independently. To do this, simply ask for the keys at the Bar du Marché.

Another mighty Romanesque basilica with a long history and tradition and wonderful acoustics. Unfortunately, you can tell that in France there is often a lack of money to keep these beautiful monuments in good condition. Also, we have not found any information for pilgrims of St. James, whether this is an important place on the pilgrimage route.
