Tips from the Community
The Porte Saint-Jean is one of the old city gates of La Souterraine. What you see now is modest, but in the Middle Ages it was a serious entrance to the walled city. Why it's nice: This was literally the city's checkpoint. Anyone who wanted to enter was examined here. The name probably refers to a nearby chapel or hospital of Saint-Jean. You're essentially walking through a 13th-14th-century section here, without it being ostentatious. What many people miss: La Souterraine was an important stop on a side route of the pilgrimage route to Santiago. It's likely that pilgrims, traders, and soldiers passed through here centuries ago.

The Tour de Bridiers is what remains of a medieval castle from the 12th–13th centuries. What you see now is mainly the enormous round keep—and it's not subtle. What makes it cool: That tower is over 30 meters high. That's seriously impressive when you stand next to it. It stands slightly apart from the landscape, giving it an almost cinematic feel. The castle was part of a major trade route between Limoges and Berry. So this wasn't a romantic fairytale castle, but a pure display of power. In the summer, a historical evening show is held here with lights, projections, and knights. Then the ruins literally come back to life. What almost no one knows: The name "Bridiers" probably comes from "bride" (rein). The castle was intended to keep the region in check.

An eco-responsible and shared refuge for pilgrims. I spent a night there and was able to leave the bike under a shelter outside. Perfect. Nice meeting and especially a meal all together for a friendly moment along my adventure. Refuge which takes its name from the legend of the Hummingbird.

At the confluence of the two rivers Creuse and Sédelle, stand on top of a rocky promontory the remains of the ancient fortress of Crozant. Considered one of the most powerful strongholds in France in the Middle Ages. Source: Toute la Creuse
