    Le Bimbillou, a natural and troglodyte site shaped by the hand of man, serves as a setting for a museum of popular arts and traditions, exhibiting old objects and tools from the past. Beautiful, fun and rural walk, on the banks of the Dronne, where you can finish, while sitting at a table sipping a drink, along the water. A fun, educational and fantastic park.
