Nature

The Vallée du Brezou, the Brezou Valley, stretches across the municipalities of Chanteix and Lagraulière. The area is open year-round for unguided visits and includes two areas notable for their flora and fauna: the Brezou Moor and the Blanchefort Forest. Today, there are three interpretation trails measuring 4.5 km, 2.6 km and 900 m; the walks take between 45 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes.
