Experience Repeatability |
With car thru France where most visitors don't go. The "Bourbonnais" is a rolling green sparsely populated region in central France where economy is not developed. Land of big white cows. X/XIII century old castles located in little villages or seen far in immense fields. Many castles can be visited. Not much happens in region. Rivers, camping, cheap sleeping, 2$ bottle wine, yammy food. Capital: Moulins, 26,000 pop.city. Has nice church of Holy Heart with bright colored windows and medieval flemish type triptych in side chapel (only open pm). Eat lunch under the Belfry. Worth a 6 hour visit. |
