Les Gîtes de Montinazeau are located in Cheniers, a hamlet in the Dunois Country, a region in Creuse. The area is known for its nature and culture.
A must-see in the area is the Vallée des peintres (the Valley of the Painters) which inspired many painters such as Monet - some of these paintings inspiring the names of the trio of Gîtes de Montinazeau. Here you can follow in the footsteps of various impressionist painters such as Claude Monet, Armand Guillaumin or Francis Picabia, who immortalised the landscapes of the confluence of the two Creuse rivers, the banks of the Sedelle, the ancient-fortress-of-Crozant, the light, rocks and heather of the Valley, through their works. The Painters's Trail is a short circular walk
Hundreds of artists put down their easels in the heart of this preserved and wild nature, on the steep paths of this valley, as our contemporary artists continue to do, following in their footsteps. You can do the same by walking in their footsteps, your discovery booklet in hand, and follow the Painters' Trail, a short loop marked with bookmarks honoring the work of Claude Monet.
