Nature along the Bouzanteuil and trails through the countryside

The Bouzanteuil is known for fishing and is classified as a first-category waterway. Its preserved banks form a biodiversity reservoir in wetland habitats. At the same time, they serve as a migration corridor and refuge for mammals and birds. The preserved banks and adjacent wetlands are equally important for observing nature by the water.

The circular trail “Le long du Bouzanteuil” leads along shaded paths, stretches of water, and through groups of trees and cultivated fields. The different sections of the trail connect water, woodland and open agricultural landscapes in a clearly defined circuit. The route connects the Bouzanteuil with groups of trees and cultivated fields. This gives your day its own focus between peaceful walking, observing nature and experiencing the landscape.

Saint Martin Church and Château du Saulier

Saint Martin Church was probably built around 1600. Its present nave may originally have been a simple barn dedicated to worship. The possible former barn forms part of the history preceding the present nave. The church did not receive a bell tower until the 17th century. It is precisely these structures from different periods that give the church a complex history that reveals itself step by step.

The Château du Saulier is a medieval fortress from the 13th century, more precisely from 1282. It stands on a rocky promontory overlooking the Bouzanteuil Valley. The Château du Saulier can be rented for weddings, birthdays, family gatherings and musical celebrations. At the Château du Saulier, the medieval fortress and possible celebrations take place in the same location. History and event use exist side by side here.
