Ahun: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
History
The Tour St Barnabé preserves the remains of the former fortifications in Ahun and commemorates the city's violent siege on 10 June 1588.
The Cippe de Chantemille, a Gallo-Roman altar uncovered in the ruins of the chapel, is still visible. The Chantemille site comprises a château, a hamlet and a footbridge over the Creuse. The lower section of the Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde has survived; it forms a terrace above the Creuse Valley.
The Eglise d’Ahun and its crypt can be visited without a guide throughout the year. The Jardin lapidaire J. Lagrange can be visited freely; guided tours with commentary are available by prior reservation through the tourist office. The Jardin lapidaire Jacques Lagrange displays Gallo-Roman remains and several medieval sarcophagi.
The Viaduc de Busseau over the Creuse is a metal structure that was commissioned in 1864 and is described by the municipality as France's first metal viaduct.
