Let George Sand guide you
"It was an oasis of granite and greenery, a labyrinth where everything was refuge and mystery. Everywhere big rounded blocks coming out of the ground or going up one on the other like rolled pebbles, hollow paths all dented where thin carts passed with difficulty, smaller still where they did not pass at all and which sank in the sands crossed current backs where one walked without sinking.
A superb vegetation on all that. Huge chestnut trees on all the hills and, in the bottoms, thick bushes, wild pear trees covered with fruit, honeysuckles all in bloom, holly and juniper trees as big as trees, running roots that made bridges over the crumbling sands, or that dragged themselves like monstrous snakes." (Nanon)
The Park of the Parelles
There, I don't say anything more!
What better guide than George Sand? She knew the place well, having walked there many times, and she placed her novel Nanon there. She also placed the Parc des Parelles at the heart of the stories in her "Légendes Rustiques".
This park is a secret destination, a wild nature that has fully regained its rights in an old granite quarry. At the heart of the park is an amphitheater that comes alive with musical and storytelling performances in the summer.
Venture along four discovery paths, the Dordorin path, the stonecutters' path, the cliff path, and the chestnut grove path... you will discover ten micro-landscapes which finally present a palette of typical Berry landscapes.
