This path has a shorter version and is also the shorter version of a longer circuit. Each is the subject of a separate information sheet. Shooting takes place regularly near the military camp of La Courtine. Don't worry; it only happens inside the military compound.
From La Courtine, follow the D996 towards St-Oradoux for 6 km. Then follow the "route forestière" for 2 km. The circuit starts at the Croix de Barbe clearing.
Head for the Puy des Chaires, the highest point of the Creuse, through the Châteauvert forest. With an exceptional view of the Massif du Sancy as a bonus.
