Stopover area for the Tour de la Creuse. Very pleasant on the edge of a pond with picnic table and bar/restaurant/children's games. Ideal for a break

The Landes pond, classified as a National Nature Reserve, covers approximately 100 hectares. It is home to a wealth of flora and fauna, with a remarkable diversity of species. Several hides, set up around its perimeter, offer the opportunity to observe migratory birds discreetly.

This bridge is emblematic of Aubusson. Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand. It was rebuilt with stones from the castle (itself dismantled on the orders of Rochelieu). There remains a castle (from the 15th century) on the left bank, which formerly housed the archers in charge of the defense of the building.

This town, whose history dates back to the 5th century, is full of legends and anecdotes. Thus, during the Hundred Years' War, the inhabitants decided not to fight the English but to receive them equipped with tools topped with goat's horns. The beautiful Chevanne house houses the aviation museum dedicated to Creuse aviators.

The Pont de la Terrade in Aubusson was until the 18th century, the only crossing point of the Creuse on the main road leading to Limoges. This passage was gradually abandoned in favor of the later, larger Récollets bridge. Thus the Terrade bridge remains today in a remarkable state of conservation. It has undergone very few modifications related to the development of modern transport. Originally made of wood, it is deployed across the river from a stone pile. Natural rot, bad weather and the importance of the Creuse wines, the bridge became dangerous due to its dilapidated state despite various repairs from the middle of the 16th century. The need for reconstruction is felt. It was replaced by a stone bridge built between 1638 and 1641 with materials from the ruins of the old medieval castle of the first Viscounts of Aubusson, the Chapter. This Huguenot defensive stronghold was destroyed on the orders of Richelieu in 1632. The Pont de la Terrade, property of the town, was listed in the inventory of historical monuments on June 15, 1926. Carefully restored in 2009, this building preserved charm illustrates the typicality of the architecture of Aubusson.
