シャンボン湖のおすすめツーリングルート

Viewpoint at the Barrage d’Éguzon: impressive views of the dam and lake over the Creuse River. The rushing water and the reflection in the lake create a sense of tranquility and power. A perfect spot to pause and enjoy the combination of nature and technology.

In a word: beautiful. A breathtaking setting with stunning hiking trails, the ruins, the river, the rocks, and enchanting trails. One of the most beautiful hikes I've ever taken.

In the Creuse valley lies the picturesque village of Gargilesse-Dampierre. The village is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. And I can see why: the romantic charm of the closely packed houses with their steep, brown-tiled roofs, which surround the castle. Truly artistic, picturesque, and charismatic. It's wonderful to take a walk in this area and have a drink at one of the restaurants. Especially the restaurant at the top, where you have a magnificent view of the village and the castle.

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

What a beautiful place! The climb to Crozant will require some effort, but it's worth it to discover this corner much appreciated by many painters 👨🏽‍🎨

It is impossible to cross the dam. It is a private area that cannot be crossed.

A beautiful reservoir connects the two departments. If you want, you can also rent a canoe and go on the lake.
