Exceptional! And the setting for this treasure trove is just right: the garden laid out in the destroyed nave,...

Exceptional! And the setting for this treasure trove is just right: the garden laid out in the destroyed nave, the banks of the Creuse, the narrow streets of the pretty village leading up to the so-called Roman bridge (11th century). And, as an added bonus, once you've crossed the bridge, you'll have the perfect spot for a souvenir photo. It will be magnificent. Even if you're not the first person to do so?
