HOTEL LEPINAT – CROZANT

L‘Hôtel Lépinat was, as its name indicates to us, very rightly, a hotel, managed by the Lépinat couple. It was here that the impressionist artists stayed, coming from Paris, to paint the valley of the creuse. Wanting to get out of their Parisian workshops, they were many to stay in Crozant: Monet, Guillaumin, Dupré, Rousseau… The interpretation center makes you discover these artists and their works, within the walls of the Hotel Lépinat.

Particularly impressive on its rocky spur from the Creuse Valley, the castle of Boussac has an eventful history. Built in the twelfth century, ruined during the Hundred Years War, rebuilt, fortified and then embellished. Before being put down during the Revolution. George Sand stayed there several times, set part of the country novel Jeanne, and discovered the famous tapestries of the Lady with the Unicorn. Became a sub-prefecture, a gendarmerie, an annex of the fairground where pigs would have been parked, the castle was saved from ruin in 1965 and restored with taste.

LE CENTRE INTERNATIONAL D’ART ET DU PAYSAGE – ILE DE VASSIVIERE
Even if it is more pleasant to go there when the weather is nice since it is located in the middle of Lake Vassivière, on an island, the CIAP is an interesting idea for a visit to make even in rainy weather to focus on the works on display inside this lovely contemporary building built in 1991 by architects Aldo Rossi and Xavier Fabre.
And with a small umbrella, of course, continue the stroll through thewood of sculptures or head to the old castle where CIAP has set up an artists’ residence. This research and creation program was imagined to encourage inspiration and project design upstream of production time…
