Toulx-Sainte-Croix

Highlight (Segment) • Settlement

Toulx-Sainte-Croix is an extraordinary village. A few kilometers from the center of the village are huge yellowish stones, which are made of granite.

In the center of the village, a church which seems to be cut in two because the bell tower is separated from the rest of the church! On the heights of Toulx-Sainte-Croix is a tower built in 1932. It is nicknamed the lighthouse, although there is no body of water around.

Trail to the Pierres Jaumâtres

Highlight • Natural Monument

The path that leads to Pierres Jaumâtres, a must-see in Creuse, begins at the car park. At the top of Mont Barlot, around forty large granite blocks stand in an improbable balance. The site is the subject of numerous legends: place of sacrifice or even altar of the Druids. When using the trail, take care to slow down when approaching other users.
