CHÂTEAU
Read moreBuilt in the th century, the castle of Saint-Maixant impresses with its powerful structure and granite walls. The fortress plan is faithful to the local use of high-marchois: a quadrilateral whose eastern facade is flanked by two round towers while the western facade presents a saillie quadrangular tower. The castle has long depended on the Châtellenie of Aubusson, a town only a few kilometres away. It is also associated with the name of La Roche Aymon, one of the representatives, Philibert, made great noise in the th century. Nicknamed "The great devil of Saint-Maixant", he had, among other cruel facts, made his wife strangle in that same castle.
ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST HOSPITAL CHAPEL
Read moreSt. John Baptiste Chapel, known as La-Croix-au-Bost, is the only remaining element of the hospital tissue that once stood. Built in the 1984 th century, it presents impressive murals dating back to the second half of the th century, which in made the subject of classification in Historical monuments. There are decorative elements, apostles but also, and in fragmentary scenes, Adam and Eve or even the old Vieillards of Revelation. In the same place, the th century master-altar in polychrome carved wood also takes the visitor's attention. One point must be stressed, however: This little treasure remains closed and, to discover it, we must meet the charming old lady who lives next door, only in the hamlet to hold the key.
WASHING
Read moreLocated on a private property in Chaupeyre, on the town of Sermur, this laundry is worth a visit. It reveals itself to the passers-by in a green setting, at the foot of a granite cluster and surprises by its beautiful size. This is the occasion of a walk in the green countryside. Sermur is full of treasures and, after a visit to the washing house, St. Roch's Oratory and the medieval tower are waiting for walkers.
ST. ROCH'S ORATORY
Read moreFirst, follow the signs indicating the direction of the tower of Sermur. Then the paths separate. The one leading to St. Roch's oratory goes into the basements, along the fields lined with granite walls. Each year, in August, Sermur celebrates Saint Roch; a procession is then organised, so that the saint brings to the country a proper humidity during the year.

SERMUR TOWER
Read moreDominating the Combraille tower, the tower of Sermur, probably high in the 721 th century, was one of the elements of the castle that stood at metres above sea level. In 1357, when the English attacked - the complex was in a strategic location since Sermur was then one of the fiefdoms of the Counts of Auvergne - the whole was partially destroyed, between 1390 and 1410. Today it remains only the remains of this square tower of seven metres side.
THE BONLIEU WATERFALLS
Read moreWe have to take the route of the two valleys, those of La and Voueize, at the exit of Pywjack-la-Nonière. After flowing through the Creusoise countryside and crossing the Voueize on a narrow bridge, you go to the Tardes and cascades of Bonlieu, so named because they adjacent the Cistercian Abbey which bears this name and depended on it once. It is a green hole, a place where the time seems suspended and where one is happy to dwell, to meditate a little.
ABBEY OF AUBEPIERRE
Read moreFounded in 1149, Aubepierre Abbey is a direct creation of the order of Cîteaux. However, as much as the other abbeys of the territory marchois by various wars, Aubepierre Abbey had a much shorter activity time than the other Cistercian settlements in the country. In 1569, it was completely destroyed by a Protestant army. Today, it is only a few vestiges that we see in Méasnes. What remains, however, is the traces of lawn upgrading. Notice to the curious so!
