立ち寄る価値あり。Toqueの天守は、Huriel城の最後の名残です

ここから素晴らしい景色が見えます。

Thank you Mathieu

The highest point in Quinssaines. Beautiful viewpoint, with a pretty little church, and a lovely park for children just behind.

The Romanesque church of Huriel, built in the 12th century, was once the seat of a priory dependent on the powerful Abbey of Déols, a Cluniac monastery in Berry. Built of Jarges granite, it blends Auvergne influences with its superb octagonal bell tower with blind arcades, reminiscent of those of major churches such as Saint-Nectaire or Saint-Saturnin.

Magnificent view of the region!

This gate, built in the middle of the 15th century, was the entrance to the castle and opened onto the suburbs of the city. It was crossed by a double drawbridge, which spanned a deep moat. The small gate was reserved for pedestrians, the larger one for vehicles and horses. The interior of the enclosure was gradually sold to individuals and residences were built there, so much so that in the 16th century the "new town", as it was called, was located within the castle enclosure. It was not until the 18th century that the moat was filled in. In the following century, the gate was reduced in height, by the removal of the 2nd floor and the machicolations.

Near Sainte-Sévère, a pretty little road will take you to the Moulin Vieux, then to the Moulin Gras from where you can reach the Retord mill either by taking the footbridge over the ford then a path or by continuing the road towards the places called Chassières (be careful, it's a climb!), La Paire, Les Granges.
