'''The feudal capital of the ancient French province of La Marche''', Guéret grew up around a 7th-century abbey situated in an area of foothills at an elevation of 1,440 feet (440 m). It was only a small market town until the coming of the railway, after which it became the centre of local agricultural cooperatives. The municipal museum has a fine collection of 12th- to 15th-century enamels. 

The Hôtel de Money-roux, a 15th-century mansion that houses local archives, is the finest building in the town. The town has various small industries (notably, wood products and jewelry), but it acts mainly as a service and administrative centre. '''It is also a centre for the local tourist industry'''. Pop. (1999) 14,123; (2005 est.) 13,900.
