In the steps of the Grandmont monks

The good weather's here, it's time to put on your walking clothes and explore history like Indiana Jones. So, put on your hat and set off with a whip in one hand and a machete in another (or perhaps a penknife, it's not so dangerous) for a great adventure.

For you the curious, I've climbed the highest Limousin mountains, more commonly known as the Monts d’Ambazac, to discover the Grandmont order… Don't worry, I haven't left on a religious retreat. I've simply been walking along the paths formerly used by the monks.
