7. When holidays tell the story

A plunge into the past, just an hour from Saint-Léonard de Noblat.

What if you took advantage of the holidays to discover life in days gone by together? At Montrol-Sénard, everything has remained frozen in time: the school, the forge, the clog-maker’s house, the old-fashioned grocery shop… The children observe, the grandparents tell. A simple, tender and complicit moment. 🩵

With older children, a visit to the martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane can also open the door to an exchange about history, with respect for the place. 🙏🏼

ℹ️ And to broaden the experience, here are two family activities in the Creuse region that are well worth a visit: the Village de Masgot, where granite tells the story of the art of stonemasons 🪨 and the Scénovision in Bénévent-l’Abbaye, an immersive show to discover the Limousin of yesteryear 🎭

You'll love visiting the Limousin with children...
