차빈 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

A beautiful route full of variety! A delightful loop with everything included: views of the Château de Chabenet, a stop at the charming Château du Petit-Broutet, the unique Pont Couvert bridge, and the impressive Viaduc de la Bouzanne. The mix of riverbanks, forests, and open fields ensures you'll constantly encounter a new setting. There are plenty of quiet spots along the way to pause and enjoy the scenery. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy combining culture and nature.

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.

From the bridge over the Creuse River in Saint-Gaultier, you have a beautiful view of the priory with the Église Saint-Gaultier (also called Église Saint-Gaultier et son priory). The complex: Originating in the 11th–12th century, built by the Benedictines. It consisted of the church and the adjacent monastery/prieuré. The towers and buildings you see are partly part of the later college that was built against the old priory. The complex offers a magnificent view of the Creuse, making it such a photogenic spot from the bridge.

A beautiful (quiet) walking route with a rest area with a bench about halfway along, where we were joined by donkeys. Part of the route crosses and follows the Creuse River. Beautiful views, with several benches and picnic tables along the river.
