  Heritage site

  Malleret

  One of the smallest communes of Creuse with 44 inhabitants at the last census. At the start of the circuit, a magnificent 14th-century church, which belonged to the Hospitallers of the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, one of whose administrative centres was located in Naberon further north in the current commune of Crocq. Note the curious access to the bell tower.

  Heritage site

  Pradal

  The villages of Limousin were all strongly involved in agriculture. Walking through these hamlets always produces interesting discoveries during a hike: barns, mansions, crosses and monuments, traditional local architecture... The presence of the two residences in the villages of Pradal and Galemaud, probably the agricultural strongholds of former lords, is, however, a striking fact about the commune of Pradal.

  Panorama

  Puy de la Chaume

  From the top of the Puy de la Chaume, which peaks at 838 m, a magnificent panorama opens up overlooking the tributary valleys of the Creuse. This region belonged to the former province of Marche, which corresponded to the current department of Creuse extended to part of Haute-Vienne, with Guéret as its capital.

  Small patrimony

  Between Galemaud and La Gane

  Between Galemaud and Gane, a magnificent little hiking trail. As you leave Galemaud, note the restored bread oven. Past La Gane, don't miss the little cross by the stream.
