This discreet vineyard in the Bourbonnais landscape dates back to the Gallo-Roman era. It is said to be one of the oldest vineyards in France. It has withstood the railway and phylloxera. Today, from this trail, you can explore its southeast-facing slopes and admire the landscapes of the Allier.

Wonderful hike, except the beginning, which we extend to work on our cardio. Avoid walking along streams in April. There were lots of butterfly caterpillars that fell on us, over 2 km. Nothing too bad. The decor is worth it. Don't forget at the end of the hike to go to Charroux, a picturesque little village with lots of memories to bring back, it's 12 km away. Good walk

Beautiful Saint-Martin church in the center of the village. There is an inn right next to the church which serves a unique menu cooked with local produce.
