Around Montmorillon

Last year when we visited we brought our young dog, he's a Labrador and likes to play with other dogs - however all the dogs in our village are kept on their properties and those we did see out and about are not encouraged to socialise.
We generally just walked him on the country lanes but it would be good if we could meet other dogs when we're around.

Is there anywhere specific that people walk or go to socialise their dogs?

If anyone needs to tire out their dog let us know - we'd be happy to meet up if when we're next over!

When we had our dog we often used to go to the little park down by the river near the hospital. I'll go and Google ......................

Aire des Îlettes

It's not very big, but we often used to find people with dogs.

Thanks Fred

Yes, that would be a good place - he loves the water too!

Bourg Archambault lake is a decent walk,sometimes with others plus dogs around, and easy free parking.......about half a mile from Bourg Archambault.

Unfortunately that scenario is a fact of life for French country dogs, the village we live in has many, many dogs, but we're the only ones who regularly (and by that I mean four times a day) walk the pooch.
