The most beautiful view is from the bridge.

The path follows the banks of the Arnon and offers a beautiful view of the Château de Culan before passing under the road bridge and then under the viaduct

A viaduct in two parts. The first spans the Moulin Neuf road and the second spans the Arnon. It rises to a height of 55 meters and welcomes bungee jumpers who take off in front of the castle.

Small, shallow ford with a fairly steep bottom. No emergency footbridge!

We no longer know where to look. On one side the Culan viaduct, a former railway line passing over the Arnon and rehabilitated as a pedestrian path. On the other, Culan Castle which stands on its rocky spur in the distance. We can see particularly well from the bridge its wooden hoardings, the wooden elements under the roof which were used to throw projectiles at the attackers and which we rarely see anymore on the fortresses which had them.

Castle in excellent condition, mainly built between the 12th and 15th centuries. It follows two previous buildings destroyed in the 10th and 12th centuries. Mazarin ordered in 1651, at the time of the Fronde, the destruction of part of its structure (entrance castle, top of its keep and certain areas of its ramparts). Its last owner, who died in 2020, tried to bequeath the castle to the Cher department, which refused due to the excessive cost of maintenance. The visit is possible every day between Easter and All Saints’ Day. Medieval weekends and thematic visits are also organized there during part of the summer.

Quiet and wild body of water, in the middle of the Berry countryside, bordered by reeds. It is currently managed and maintained by a nokill carp fishing centre.
