The Forest of Troncais

More than ten thousand hectares composed mainly of sessil oaks of great quality, tricentenaires and plus for some. Past, present and future, I invite you to discover this region located in the heart of the bocage Bourbonnais where life is good.

QUOTE.......

The forest is nature before man, nature not yet "civilized" - I mean domesticated, channeled, often alas! wasted, for our needs. Life in the forest is the healthiest for the body and for the soul, and it frees us from the artifices whose life in society has made for us a nature that has supplanted nature.

(Extrait du livre de Jacques Chevalier, la forĂȘt de Tronçais.)

6 trees -on a tree ! old oak of the forest.

The Forest.

Situated between the rivers of l`Allier ,to the East and the river `Cher` to the West,  on a plateau with the plains of the Berry to the North and the foothills of the` Massif Central`, to the South.

Within this vaste forest, beside one of the many beautiful lakes ,is the Maison de L`Etang. ( my place for relaxation  and observation for the natural life in the forest) A place to sit in the shade or sun, walk in the seasonal beauty of the forest,  enjoying the total `sound of silence`.

For the active ,the cycle rides are easy or more strenuous depending on desires.  swimming allowed in certain lakes ,with designated areas. Sailing and other non-motorised water activities. Fishing, with a permit for all lakes in the forest. Horseriding, golf and tennis,not too far distant.

Many Chateaux, and historical sites to visit and explore.
