Guerét, although a quiet town, is the capital of the Creuse and grew up around a monastary founded in the 7th Century, and there are many cultural delights and activities to be found here.

Close to Guerét there is a huge maze where you can test your sense of direction with or without the clues provided. There is also a farmyard, water slide and picnic areas within the park. This has been a great day out for previous guests.

Not far from Gueret is Chabrières forest which is home to "Les Loup des Chabrières", a sanctuary to wolves where they can live in a near natural habitat protected from the outside world.

Also in the Chabrières is the Observatoire Planétarium des Monts de Guéret, which has a 450mm diameter telescope. A presentation is held at 4.30pm daily in the planetarium.
