The valley of the painters<\/h3>

Claude Monet, Armand Guillaumin, Francis Picabia and others immortalized in their impressionist works the landscapes of the confluence of the two rivers Creuse, the banks of the Sedelle, the ancient fortress of Crozant and the light, the rocks and the moors of this valley.\n\nHundreds of artists set up their easels in the heart of this unspoiled and wild nature, on the steep paths of this valley, as our contemporary artists continue to do, in their footsteps. You can do the same by following in their footsteps, with your discovery booklet in hand, and the Signposted route, a short loop marked with bookmarks in honor of Claude Monet's work.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
