The setting
We are on one of the paths of Compostela but not the most frequented. Come and discover the forest of Tronçais in front of my house, its springs, its legends, its ponds for fishing, the long hikes on foot, on bicycle accessible and marked out.
The Allier, this Bourbonnais country, with its temperate climate and even very hot in summer, is a region where you will find many castles, historical monuments illuminated every evening at nightfall until the end of August.
You are 20 km from the N7, 25 KM from the A71, 6 KM from the Street Art City of Lurcy Lévy which will open its doors on May 18, 2023 but closed every Wednesday. Finally, many cultural, sports and other activities are offered from April to the end of September.
September is quieter, the weather is mild and often sunny but it is also the time of the "Amours" in the forest of Tronçais (the bellowing of the deer that we hear at nightfall and without moving from my house) and evenings in the forest are proposed to enjoy by an association closer to the animal you will discover. September is also evenings with the hunting horns, concerts, bingo, bike rides, ...
I am not native of this region but I appreciate the absence of pollution, the fresh air, the majestic trees of the forest of Tronçais, its ponds with marked out circuits, arranged. All this away from the noise of the cities without jostling, or people in a hurry who honk at you, and even when the tourists arrive here, you only have a few kilometers to go to find the calm and listen to the song of different birds for example.
I hope to have succeeded in describing to you a little bit the North department of Allier in Auvergne and 3 hours from Paris.
