GUERET

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 670 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GUERET , a town of central France,
capital
  of the department of Creuse, situated on a mountain declivity 48 M. N.E. of
Limoges
  on the Orleans railway. Pop. (1906), town, 6042; commune (including troops, &c.), 8o58. Apart from the Hotel desMonneyroux (used as prefecture), a picturesque
mansion
  of the 15th and 16th centuries, with mansard roofs and mullioned windows, Gueret has little architectural
interest
 . It is the seat of a prefect and a court of assizes, and has a tribunal of first instance, a chamber of commerce and lycees and training colleges, for both sexes. The
industries
  include brewing, saw-milling, leather-making and the manufacture of
basket
 -
work
  and wooden shoes, and there is
trade
  in agricultural produce and cattle. Gueret grew up round an abbey founded in the 7th century, and in later times became the
capital
 , of the
district
  of
Marche
 .
