Anzême: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Anzême’s history is particularly evident in the Église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul and the Pont du Diable. The Église Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul dates from the 13th century and was vaulted in the 14th century. Its six-part chancel vault is considered very rare in this region. On 19 March 1982, the church was designated a Monument historique; the sacristy is excluded from this designation.

The Pont du Diable is associated with a local legend according to which Satan built the bridge. It stands below the village of Anzême in the Creuse gorges and is said to have been built by masons from the Creuse in the 14th century and altered in the 18th century.
