ブシエールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

道に木や枝があり、中程度に通行可能ですが、不可能ではありません

through the forest and along open fields

The route on my map is wrong at the beginning; the Komoot GPS was lost. The route is direct via a wide path from Etubeix.

Park at the place called Etubeix in the commune of Saint Julien la Geneste 63.

The construction of the first castle of Pionsat dates back to the end of the 14th century, in the heart of the Hundred Years' War. It is probably the work of Guy Aubert, lord of Pionsat (and nephew of Pope Innocent VI), who applied Charles V's edict of 1367 on the fortification of the kingdom, to strengthen the defenses of the Auvergne against English raids. Over the centuries, the castle took the form of an enclosure with several towers (perhaps five) and a keep according to a fairly detailed plan of which there are still remains, in particular part of the main building and a tower. Since 1482, and the purchase by Jacques de Chazeron, first butler of King Louis XI, of the stronghold of PIONSAT where he built a square tower with a Gothic door in the courtyard.

The current Saint-Bravy church in Pionsat is quite recent. On the other side of the church square was an older church. This Romanesque church of Pionsat is only known to us from two lithographs. Because its strength was seriously doubted in the mid-19th century, it was decided to build a new one on land acquired by the municipality in August 1859. The current one was built in a neo-modern church using stones from the old church. Romanesque style and where the bell “Anne de Chazeron” was installed, presented in 1569 by Gilbert de Chazeron, lord of Pionsat and to whom the virtue of warding off storms is attributed. The Saint-Bravy Church was consecrated in August 1888.

Two chateaus on the same square. Just drive up the driveway and admire.
