Bouesse: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Bouesse combines striking buildings with rural paths and a landscape of forests, plains, and sunken lanes. Between the church, château, pond, and small country roads, the different facets of the village lie close together.

Culture and history

The Église Saint-Étienne has a single-nave, rectangular nave with a barrel vault made of plastered lathwork. Above the western portal are the coats of arms of Charles VI de Gaucourt and his wife, Alberte-Brigitte de La Baume Montravel. In the 19th century, the church was restored under the direction of Abbé P.M. Lenoir.

The Château de Bouesse was rebuilt in 1492 with larger openings and a south-facing terrace. Its 32-metre-high keep is decorated with machicolations, beneath which four coats of arms are carved.

Paths through the landscape

Bouesse and its surroundings have signposted hiking trails and preserved rural paths. The landscape around Bouesse includes forests, plains, and sunken lanes. The Chemin de César begins with Bouesse’s historical heritage, including the château and church, and then continues along natural paths between forest and pond.

Étang de Fontpart

The private Étang de Fontpart can be seen from a municipal path. Grey herons, great egrets, great crested grebes, and black kites can be observed at Étang de Fontpart.

Cycling route and market

Bouesse’s small country roads and forest paths are suitable for cycling tours. Château de Bouesse is listed as a sight on cycling route no. 5. EARL Lugnot sells directly at the market in Bouesse on Thursday mornings.
