September 25, 2025, Château de Bouesse

Walk past this medieval castle and notice the contrast: a high keep with machicolations and details like coats of arms and an ornate tympanum above a door. Imagine it once being defended, while its inhabitants still sought comfort. And if you walk past it at dusk, the silhouettes of the towers and nature make it almost poetic.

It's impressive to walk under and along this viaduct. You suddenly feel very small.

Located on a rocky outcrop, the castle of Cluis-Dessous occupied a strategic position. In the 12th century, the keep is the oldest part of the building. The curtain wall, slightly more recent (12th-13th century), is typical of Plantagenêt architecture. The house, which dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, is only partially preserved.

Crossing the Auzon valley, this viaduct nearly 500 meters long has 20 arches. Built in 1899, it was used until 1952 for the SNCF link between Argenton-sur-Creuse and La Châtre. Today, it is frequented by bungee jumpers, hikers and experienced runners who, like you, take advantage of the panoramic view of the Auzon valley.

It simply crosses the valley of a modest river, the Auzon. Almost 500 meters long, the impressive Cluis viaduct has 20 arches and crosses the Auzon. Built in 1899, it was used until 1952 for the SNCF link between Argenton-sur-Creuse and La Châtre. Today, it is frequented by bungee jumpers and calmer hikers who take it to enjoy the panoramic view of the Auzon valley.
