アンドルのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

nice to visit

The Château de Lancosme is one of the most important properties in Brenne. It is surrounded by a vast wooded park. It is from this park that the Lancôme company derives its name.

Very beautiful viewpoint and an emblematic castle of the region

An imposing 15th century medieval castle, which withstood the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, as well as the Revolution, it was saved from ruin by its current owner in 1982. This castle was the setting for George Sand's novel "The Miller of Angibault" under the name of Château de Blanchemont.

A truly impressive complex. Very well preserved and restored. You can visit the castle for a small fee. It is definitely worth it. Just for the view from the top floor

Pleasant stopover. Night at the “black horse.” Beautiful village to discover

This exceptional ensemble is located in a remarkable 26-hectare green setting redeveloped by Denis and Eugène Bülher, a famous 19th century landscaper. They imagined a landscaped park decorated with numerous groves where a multitude of tree species, boxwood beds and topiaries coexist, the collection of which is renowned among the most beautiful in France. The walk continues into the flower gardens where the collection rose dominates. A conservatory orchard based on old varieties of apples and pears completes the plant diversity of the site.
