Walk in the streets of Meillant: near the Geographical Centre of France, in the heart of a vast forest (oaks for the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris), with until the nineteenth century iron mined in blast furnaces heated by charcoal supplied by the coal masters (v. George Sand), water in abundance, ponds, and stone quarries (site of the cathedral of Bourges)... In the village, many testimonies of these riches, rub shoulders with the magnificent castle with Gothic exterior decoration, unique in France (in the world)! Stories, testimonies, encounters, humour too.
