20의 뇌이 앙 상세르가지 명소 & 주요 장소

In the proverbial "good old days," this (former) windmill, prominently positioned on the hill and clearly visible from afar, must have made a profound impression on the viewer. However, this changed long ago: Only the ruined remains of the once proudly towering tower with its once sweeping wings remain as a sad testament to that bygone era. Today's visitors probably enjoy less the sight of the ruins than—at least in good weather—the beautiful view of the wide plains that unfold before them.

Excellent discovery. I'm not the best performer, but I enjoyed doing it. With technique, it should be a treat.

If you are a ceramist or an enlightened pottery lover, La Borne will surely mean something to you. Indeed, this village is a mecca for ceramic creation in France and internationally. La Borne being close to a large sandstone deposit, there are traces of this activity since the 12th century and it has continued to develop over time. In the 15th century, potters acquired mastery of cooking local clay. In the 17th century, the creation of the town of Henrichemont increased demand and concentrated the workshops in the hamlet, halfway between the quarries and the town. Then in the 19th century, at its peak, 21 workshops operated there. Unlike many pottery villages, La Borne has been able to resist the new materials of the 20th century with the revival of pottery in the form of art. Today, nearly 80 craftsmen and artists of twelve different nationalities work in the surrounding area and there are two museums in the village. In the former Saint-Jean-Baptiste chapel, the Pottery Museum was created with a rather traditional and historical approach and in which we find works by renowned potters such as the Talbot family, Vassil Ivanoff and Jean Linard. Then you will find the La Borne Contemporary Ceramic Center which has occupied the village's former girls' school since 1971 as well as a glass gallery more than 600 meters long inaugurated in 2010. Every year around October you can participate in the Grands Feux, an event allowing you to discover how the hamlet's wood-fired ovens work.

When you visit the viewpoint over the Sancerre valley in Verdigny, you have a breathtaking panoramic experience. This viewpoint offers stunning views of France's beautiful Sancerre Valley, known for its picturesque vineyards and charming countryside. As you admire the landscape, you will see the rows of vineyards stretching out before you, creating a patchwork of green and gold, depending on the season. It's a great place, especially at sunset, when the valley is bathed in warm, golden light.

Very pretty open view of the vineyards with Sancerre in the distance.

Nice descent without difficulty. In the direction of the climb, it's another story!
