The Creuse has a hilly landscape, half woods, half meadow-land. The region is part of the Massif Central, the heart of France. The air and water here are still pure as there is no industry.
The surrounding area of Les Trois Ponts still radiates the French atmosphere from decades ago. The many picturesque villages and authentic farms give the impression that time has stood still.
The larger villages all have their monthly or weekly markets, where local products are sold.
The city closest to Les Trois Ponts is Aubusson, famous for its carpets and tapestries.
