Auberge de Pays, Châtelus-le-Marcheix

Highlight • Restaurant

The only small tavern in Chatelau-le-Marcheix with few products to buy and bread. There is nothing to eat, apart from a mixed, cold plate with sausages, ham and cheese. Still recommended for a little rest.
In the center of the village there is a Gite des Groupes (own highlight)

Châtelus Bridge

Highlight • Other

The Châtelus bridge spans the Thaurion. This bridge has the particularity of being built on the old bridge which is now underwater, due to the filling of the Étroit dam, which raised the water level in the Le Thaurion river. The small Châtelus beach is located a few meters from the bridge.

Bourganeuf

Highlight • Settlement

Bourganeuf is a medieval town sometimes nicknamed "the city of light" because this small town was the third French town to have electricity. Bourganeuf is home to many historic buildings and monuments. The town hall also organizes guided tours of the city.
