サンテティエンヌドフルサック周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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.

Beautiful landscapes.

The lantern states that it’s by the cemetery but either it moved or it’s been wrong all along. The cemetery is across the village, heading toward Le Fieu.

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…

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.

Dated from the 13th century, the lantern of the dead of Saint-Goussaud was moved at the beginning of the 19th century from the cemetery where it was initially located. Thanks to a pulley system, a light was hoisted there to guide the deceased.

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.

The Notre-Dame de la Souterraine church was restored in the 19th century. It is distinguished by its underground crypt. The style of the granite building would have been influenced by the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela, La Souterraine being on the pilgrimage route.
