Two original ways to discover the Tronçais forest

An original and fashionable concept in a natural area that is perfectly suited to this type of activity, opt for the company of animals by succumbing to the cani-rando!

Strap on your dog and let him guide you on this sporting walk lasting around 1 hour. You’ll be accompanied by Sylvain Cordeau, a state-qualified musher with a real passion for his canines.

If you’re less sporty but still enjoy a thrill, climb aboard the cani-kart pulled by a pack of 10 to 12 dogs, in complete confidence.
A unique experience, as close to nature as you can get!

Hiking and Heritage

In the Cher gorges

From the village of Ste-Thérence, set off on a more challenging hike to discover the Château de l’Ours. At the confluence of the Ruisseau de l’Ours and the Cher, its 12th-century ruins stand on a rocky outcrop covered in boxwood moorland, a characteristic feature of the Combraille region. The view over the Cher gorges is remarkable. You can continue your walk down to the river and enjoy the cool, calm atmosphere.

a change of scenery guaranteed!

The blue lagoon

Located in Louroux-Hodement (Haut-Bocage), this former granite quarry is one of the most exotic nuggets in the area. Discover this little corner of paradise, where 50 shades of blue are revealed depending on the light, sunshine and viewpoint.

A short footpath (around 1km) leads around this natural lake, giving you a chance to get a bird’s eye view of the site.

Please note that swimming is prohibited as it is extremely dangerous.
