View of the Allier River and Moulins from Les Durantats

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not far from here, in Nevers, is where the Allier River ends its course in the Loire. The view from here is picturesque. Take the time to take some photos. From here, you have a beautiful view of Moulins.

Fourchaud Castle

Highlight • Castle

The name Fourchaud seems to come from “Fourche”, as the Gallo-Roman road branched off there, coming from Bourges and leading either to Lyon or Clermont-Ferrand.

Saint Lawrence Church

Highlight • Other

From this magnificent Romanesque church, you have a very beautiful panorama in front of you.

An orientation table adjoining the church allows you to find your way around.

The sobriety of the place, the pretty statues, lead to contemplation.
