Along the Le Sapey stream, an educational nature trail leads through deciduous and coniferous forest beside the water and offers panoramic views over the Besbre Valley. For routes on two wheels, the municipality provides two electric bicycles exclusively by prior reservation.
Culture
Construction of the Sainte-Marie church began in 1836; it was extended from 1852 to 1858. During its restoration from 1933 to 1935, the painter Despalles from Cusset was commissioned to create devotional images. The church is known for its Art Deco interior.
Among the remains still visible near La Presle are pits in which animal hides were once soaked for tanning. Mills are part of La Chabanne's unusual cultural heritage. A former lead-silver mine is also part of this cultural heritage.
History and Local Life
The water of the stream near La Presle made it possible to establish a very active knitting industry. In connection with La Presle, the textile industry was active in the 17th and 18th centuries; combing, spinning and weaving were carried out by hand.
The former private school of La Chabanne was converted into municipal accommodation. The Les Herbes Folles ecological project offers tours of the site and organizes community work days.
