Boussac

Boussac lies beside the Petite Creuse in central France, northeast of Guéret, where several roads meet near the river. The small town grew around a market position in the countryside of fields, hedges and woodland. Its twelfth-century castle and fragments of the old town walls recall a more strongly fortified phase, while later houses and a fifteenth-century bridge show how settlement expanded along the approach to the river crossing.
