The area is a must for the keen amateur or indeed anyone with even a passing interest in ornithology and distinctive species are likely to be observed on any day out during your stay in the Creuse.
Cycling – The quiet countryside roads make cycling enjoyable, safe and stress free. Additionally, for the more adventurous there are numerous off road signed cycle routes, for mountain bikes with four difficulty levels.
Fishing – The Creuse is an anglers paradise with 3,800 kilometres of streams and rivers plus 3,000 hectares of lakes. It has some of the finest fish in Europe – trout, carp, pike, salmon, bream, dace, chub, gudgeon, barbell, perch, black-bass to name a few.
The smaller rivers are perfect for those starting out and ideal for children. The larger rivers are places for the more experienced and professional minded. A special holiday permit allows you to fish in all categories of lake and river for a 15-day period.
