Overcrowded tourist village

Aubusson boasts several noteworthy buildings from the Middle Ages and more recent times. These include the clock tower from 1579, part of the town's fortifications. Aubusson also has museums dedicated to the production of tapestries and the Jean Lurçat Cultural Centre.

This old watchtower was integrated into the city's fortifications. Also called the "white tower", it is the last vestige of the enclosure that surrounded Aubusson. It was used to monitor movements in the city. On the facade of the tower, three dials facing the city indicate the time. It is easily recognizable with its pepperpot roof covered in chestnut shingles. It is decorated with a bell decorated with three small bas-reliefs: a mitred bishop.

This bridge is emblematic of Aubusson. Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand. It was rebuilt with stones from the castle (itself dismantled on the orders of Rochelieu). There remains a castle (from the 15th century) on the left bank, which formerly housed the archers in charge of the defense of the building.

This town, whose history dates back to the 5th century, is full of legends and anecdotes. Thus, during the Hundred Years' War, the inhabitants decided not to fight the English but to receive them equipped with tools topped with goat's horns. The beautiful Chevanne house houses the aviation museum dedicated to Creuse aviators.

The Etang des Portes is an ideal spot for a break. We enjoy the calm of the place. The body of water is dedicated to fishing. It is the starting point for mountain bike tours and walks.

The history of the castle dates back at least to 1195, when it was owned by the Durat family. It is classified as a historic monument. But it was the subject of reconstruction between the 16th and 19th centuries.

The Château de Blessac was built in 1715 by the Duke of Creuse.
