Medieval trail between Berry and Limousin
At the crossroads of Berry and Limousin, perched on a granite rock overlooking the river, this ancient medieval town, once home to Benedictine monks, offers, behind its ramparts, a charming stroll through its steep, narrow streets, where you can explore its 15th- and 16th-century houses, its church and its priory, as well as the Portfolio Valley, over which the village offers a lovely view.

Based on the outskirts of the medieval town of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, SITRAM has been manufacturing pressure cookers and kitchenware since 1960. Renowned for its expertise, with products bearing the “Made in France” label, the company holds the Origine France Garantie® certification.
