The ducks' trail
Discover the countryside of the Creuse by taking tracks and paths. At the edge of valleys where many streams flow, and up to the top of hills offering remarkable views to the Sancy massif. You will pass through hamlets where the imprint of the masons of La Creuse remains engraved in the Limousin granite. With any luck, you will come across game in our forests.
