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

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

Super technical trail with flat stone steps which leads to the promontory with a view of the ruins of Crozant. The descent that follows, to the Crozant bridge, requires vigilance but is done in dry weather.
