Bazelatのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

In a word: beautiful. A breathtaking setting with stunning hiking trails, the ruins, the river, the rocks, and enchanting trails. One of the most beautiful hikes I've ever taken.

Friends with Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, and Vincent van Gogh, Guillaumin lived in Crozant in the Creuse department (Limousin region) from 1892 onward, the adopted home of numerous other artists, which is the subject of well over one hundred of his paintings. Armand Guillaumin died in 1927 at the age of 86, the last surviving representative of the Impressionist group.

At the confluence of the two rivers Creuse and Sédelle, stand on top of a rocky promontory the remains of the ancient fortress of Crozant. Considered one of the most powerful strongholds in France in the Middle Ages. Source: Toute la Creuse

What a beautiful place! The climb to Crozant will require some effort, but it's worth it to discover this corner much appreciated by many painters 👨🏽‍🎨

A beautiful reservoir connects the two departments. If you want, you can also rent a canoe and go on the lake.

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