Chambon-sur-Voueize

Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France

·

Two rivers, the Voueize and the Tardes, meet at Chambon-sur-Voueize, in the green, rolling Combraille country close to the Voueize gorges. The small town grew around the abbey church of Sainte-Valérie, begun in the 11th century, and a medieval bridge still crosses the Voueize. Around it lie lakes, woods and protected river valleys.

Highlights

  • The abbey church of Sainte-Valérie, dating from the 11th century
  • The medieval bridge over the Voueize
  • The Château de Marsat and the ruined castle at Barbe-Bleu
  • The protected valleys of the Voueize and the Tardes
