Charroux visit

30 km west of Vichy, Charroux is the unmissable Bourbonnaise getaway full of charm ... and character! Renowned for its mustard, this former stronghold and commercial place has many other arguments to make. A former city classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France".

Charroux was a fortified town and an important crossroads of trade in the Middle Ages. The evocative name of the streets still testifies to this great activity: streets of the henhouse, the rope factory, the tanners, the lime kilns ...

Charroux preserves from this period, sculpted stone facades from the 15th to the 18th centuries, a house remarkably preserved timber-framed and corbelled 14th century and an exceptional number of wells.

The heart of the village is home to the “Cour des Dames” surrounded by concave facades, while the eastern and western gates mark the limit of the old fortifications.
