| The Département Creuse is in central France in the Region Limousin. Aubusson is famous all over the world for its carpets and tapestries and a museum explains the manufacturing process and its history to the visitor. It is also possible to visit the carpet factories and look over the shoulders of the carpet makers. The modern cultural Jean Lurcat is also of great interest. Aubusson has many hotels.
No stay in the Département is complete without a trip along the picturesque valley of the river Creuse with its bizarre rock formations. The15 kilometer long reservoir was immortalised by the painter Claude Monet. Périgueux, said to be one of the most beautiful historic towns in France, is also a popular destination with its cathedral Saint Front. In Bourganeuf you should climb the ancient “Tour Zizim”, one of the last remains of the town fortifications. The Town Hall here has a wonderful collection of tapestries made in the workshops in Aubusson.
The spa town of Évaux-les-Bains has almost 30 different springs with healing properties. The highest point in Creuse is the 854 meter Signal d‘ Audouze between Felletin und Meymac. The viewing terrasses at the summit offer wonderful views over the surrounding countryside even as far as the volcanos of the Auvergne in clear weather. Agriculture and tourism are the chief economic activities in the Département Creuse.
