This medieval bridge, known as the 'Soubre Bridge' and made up of four arches, those at the ends in a semi-circular arch, the other two in a pointed arch, bears the name of a tapestry manufacturer whose workshops were located nearby. In the 16th century, Felletin was a prosperous town which saw the development of a significant number of industries: flour milling, tanning, paper milling, dyeing, etc. The river provided the energy necessary for the operation of the numerous mills. Next to the bridge, we notice the toll terminal symbolizing the duty that had to be paid to bring certain goods and foodstuffs into the city. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1926.

The lake was created in 1944 and feeds Lac de Vassivière through an underground aquaduct providing hydroelectric power. The site is classified as a Natura 2000 area as a natural area of ecological, faunal and floristic interest. This particular place is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the lake and the beach.

A village that definitely bears its name. We hear the incessant shots coming from a nearby military base, which resonate and disturb the almost disturbing calm of the place. The church under renovation is a good place for a siesta, a ravito, and why not a bivouac. Don't expect to be able to buy food there, there is nothing for several miles around.
