Departure from Royère-de-Vassivière (Creuse)
This two-stage route of 2 x 18 km will take you on a journey of discovery around one of the largest artificial lakes in France.
You can expect to see mid-mountain landscapes, varied vegetation including fir forests, moors and peat bogs, and wild flora and fauna on this tour of Lake Vassivière, commonly known as "Little Canada".
The highlight of the route: a stopover at the Pourvoirie du Lac stopover lodge (accommodation, breakfast and dinner with a panoramic view of the lake).
