The village of Crozant can be found nestled in a stunning landscape of rivers, lakes and rocky promontories that offer superb views of the abundant beauty of the Creuse department of central France. A small village, of some 600 souls, Crozant has pots of history, intriguing ruins to visit, and a warm and welcoming heart. The atmospheric ruins of the fortress are a picturesque addition to the village. Village life Crozant may be small, but it has real village life going on, and is no ghost town in any sense. The beating heart of the village offers the essential shops and services that are expected of a true French village, with small shops, bars, restaurants and a post office. Crozant is a friendly place, and offers the hand of welcome to all newcomers, be they day trippers, holiday home owners or new permanent residents. Crozant is an artist's delight Crozant is, and always has been an artist's delight. Popular with the impressionists, the village attracted so many creative superstars that the particular impressionist style practiced there became known as the "School of Crozant"! The village was also a favoured haunt of the writer George Sands. Exploring the area As Crozant lies on the border of the departments of the Creuse and the Indre, the village makes a great base for further exploration of the area. The Limousin, and more specifically, the Creuse, is a region of France that has not been over commercialised or even, in many parts, discovered by the world at large. Around the village there are rivers (Crozant actually sits at the confluence of the Rivers Creuse and Séddelle), lakes, woodlands and gorges, making this some of the most beautiful and dramatic countryside in France. It's perfect for walking, horse-riding, cycling and simply sightseeing. There are many fascinating towns and villages to see too, including Aubusson of carpet making fame, and the tragic memorial town of Oradour sur Glanes. Car essential Within walking distance is the excellent L'Auberge de la Vallee which is listed in the Michelin guide 2017. We have eaten here on numerous occasions.
