It was in this wood, near the communes of Sardent and Maisonnisses, that on September 7, 1943, seven young maquisards fell to German bullets. A walk through the woods between the granite chaos evokes the creation of this maquis by young Creusois and its brutal and violent end, which made it a symbol.

The church is the only vestige of the former hospital commandery. It houses an enigmatic recumbent statue and hides a beautiful crypt, home to a small bat. Free admission all year round.

You will be surprised, surprised, amazed, bewitched.... after visiting the church of Sous-Parsat! From the outside, the building is nothing special, but once you walk through the door, you can see into another world: primary colours, huge and exaggerated shapes, the play of light between stained glass windows and frescoes.... This is a world apart that shocks and challenges, the artist Gabriel Chabrat conceived and designed it to give the utmost pleasure to visitors and art lovers.

The shock of frescoes. On the outside, the little 19th-century church is totally unremarkable. And even, let's face it, uninteresting. But once you've pushed open the door? the shock is powerful. From wall to ceiling, immense frescoes in primary colors depict biblical scenes: the Crucifixion, the Nativity, the Old and New Testaments? Scenes in symbolic colors echoed in the stained glass windows. Created between 1986 and 1995 by Gabriel Chabrat, a local painter, these paintings lend a rare power to the place, making it a timeless space conducive to reflection. Free admission all year round.

It is said that near Reillat, there was a fountain known as Font-aux-Sauniers or Font des Faux Sauniers. It is said to have been a meeting point for smugglers engaged in the salt trade. A path along the road leading to the village leads to the fountain, which is enclosed in a low retaining wall and feeds a reconstructed drinking trough. Continuing along the low-walled path up to the village of Reillat, a cross was rebuilt in 2001 by local sculptor Jean Estaque. The sculpture, carved from wood, was placed on the existing base. A Pierre des Morts (Stone of the Dead), carved with a cross, rests in front of the new structure.

A pathway, lined with dry-laid stones, leads to a fountain, whose cover bears the date 1889. The circular base is certainly older. The fishery provided a supply of fish and was also used for washing clothes, as seven flat stones are positioned at the end of the pond.

The GAEC du Puy des Forges offers beef and veal (Limousin breed) and pork in 5 or 10 kg packages, as well as sunflower oil. On sale to order at the farm, at events or at the Bio Creuse store.

Opposite "Marie-Louise", the belltower, a path leads to the remains of a cemetary (several graves). Of particular interest is that of Doctor Villard, a local figure and former mayor of Guéret. A flowered cross sculpted with representations of Christ and the Virgin with Child lay near the tomb.

Dans le bourg, un petit sentier bordé de deux murettes en pierre sèche mène à une fontaine en pierres maçonnées. Recouverte par trois blocs de granite, elle alimente le lavoir hémi-circulaire. Formé par dix pierres à laver, il est accolé à un muret de soutènement. Le fond du lavoir est entièrement pavé.

Described by Dr. Janicaud (in Volume 26 of Mémoires de la Société des Sciences de la Creuse, 1935), it roughly represents a seated figure carved from a single block of granite, 1.10 m high. The head is spherical; the eyes and nostrils are represented by simple round holes, the mouth by a horizontal groove. The arms are depicted alongside the body. This figure is thought to represent a Gallic divinity from the first centuries AD. Druids would have performed rituals to protect livestock. The Christian religion adopted this pagan belief for its own: "to tame the cattle, you had to make them turn around the marmot three times while reciting prayers".
