A marvel of calm to discover between Massignac and Lesignac-Durand. I particularly recommend this spot, the impression of being far from everything, in a green setting with gentle hills.

A beautiful place to pay tribute to the fighters of our region. I recommend stopping there and visiting the alcove in which Mr. Bonnier is buried
