Discovering Saint-martinien, Allier, Auvergne

From the gates of the castle of Chatel-Guyon, this little circuit for walkers joins the village after a brief incursion into the woods of Viersat.

This tour goes through the countryside, passing through places full of history. You will see the exterior of the Fressineau castle, listed as a Historic Monument. It is one of the only ones in Creuse to have a main building flanked by five towers and surrounded by a moat. You will also follow in the footsteps of the archaeologist Jean-François Baraillon, who was the first researcher and historian in our region. Your walk will take you to Lépaud, classified as a flowery village, which was the birthplace of Anders Osterlind, a famous painter who became one of the masters of Crozant's landscapes.

This tour takes you through the countryside, passing through places steeped in history in the footsteps of the archaeologist Jean-François Baraillon, who was the first to study them

This circuit offers beautiful views over the Combraille and the Bourbonnais bocage.

Between the Verneigette and the Petite Creuse, you will discover a landscape rich in streams and ponds but also in heritage with the chapel of Bellefaye, the pretty view of the adjacent castle which contains the legend of "Madame Daquin", the contemporary church of Verneiges or the toadstool of Bord Saint Georges.

This circuit allows to observe the outside of the castle called "Le Fressineau" and to cross the communal and departmental limits between "Combraille Creusoise" and "Combraille Bournonnaise"

This tour will take you to the boundaries of this parish, which became a commune before being attached to Viersat in 1834.

This circuit leads you from forests to ponds, from moors to meadows on the paths where the panoramas on the hills of Toulx-Sainte-Croix in the North and the Monts d'Auvergne in the South-East follow one another.

With this circuit, you will hardly leave the village of Lépaud, whose name (paux: stakes) reminds a palisade, a fortification.

A circuit for walkers which encircles the village of Budelière and allows you to discover the local agricultural environment, divided between cultivation and breeding, between large areas of easy exploitation and small traditional plots surrounded by living hedges.
