Bazelatのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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.

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.

Breathtaking view of the remains of the old Crozant fortress, at the confluence of the two rivers, the Creuse and the Sédelle. The panorama has inspired many artists including Claude Monet, George Sand and Frédéric Chopin.

A small market town, Crozant is perched atop a promontory overlooking the Creuse. It owes its fame as much to its landscapes and unique history as to its "school of painting", its most famous visiting painter being Claude Monet. In the village, the ruins of the fortress are worth a visit, as is the Heritage Center of the Hôtel Lépinat for the "Valley of painters".
