Haute-Vienne walks

An interesting walk at the foot of the Monts de Blond, among the undergrowth and mystical stories.

Discover the Bonnes Fontaines de Courbefy, unique places of worship that are found in large numbers in Limousin. Those in Courbefy were particularly renowned and frequented, one of them even accompanied by a cross covered with ex-votos, offerings and marks of devotion. Courbefy is an abandoned village, and the announcement of its sale made international headlines a few years ago.

This is a pleasant, nature-filled hike that allows you to discover the bocage countryside around Montrol-Sénard, with numerous views of the Limousin countryside, a wealth of rural heritage sites, wells, wayside crosses, dry stone walls and a wash house.

A mainly forest route, on paths lined with low walls, skirting a few meadows and passing through a few quiet hamlets.

During a short climb and a small circular route, Mont Gargan, a memorial site steeped in history, offers landscapes of moors and woods, unobstructed views and heritage.

This route will take you to the heart of Limousin villages, past oratories, good fountains and prayer trees, witnesses to ancestral spiritual activity. You are in the Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park.

An easy walk in a calm, relaxing environment which takes you through the Vienne valley at the heart of the world capital' porcelain, with magnificent medieval bridges, historic suburbs, old porcelain factories and a lovely park.

Meuzac welcomes you for a walk rich in natural heritage (Limousin bocage and forests) and architectural heritage (fortified Romanesque church). You will come across numerous ponds, including the Plan d'Eau de la Roche (swimming) and the Plan d'Eau de Forgeneuve (water skiing). Don't miss the Père Castor media library. Throughout the walk, you will find a series of questions and answers (the question on one signpost, the answer on the next).

Circular loop with varied scenery, often in the forest, partly on the Sentier des Moines trail. Magnificent in the autumn colours of the Limousin region. Moderator's note: hike modified on 11/05/2023 due to private property issues. To reach point 4 through the fields after going around the pond, the route now passes through Bourdaleine.

Discover an island in the middle of the Vienne River, offering a diversity of landscapes between meadows and woodlands, and an interesting heritage.A connection to nature with explanatory signs along the way.

Nature and Land Art for this second stage, around the 5th largest artificial lake in France!

A pleasant walk in the forest, in all seasons and in all weathers.Please note: from 30 November 2024 to 31 January 2025, the path between (5) and (6) will be closed for forestry work.At the Beauregard farm, take the road between points (3) and (6) and continue the route.

This is a fairly steep and challenging ride for horses. It is fairly easy for riders, especially if they are comfortable with long climbs... Pretty scenery around Les Retouillères. It can be done in either direction, with the biggest climb being on the way to Catheraud on the Puy de Jabreilles side. The paths are quite rocky, so it's best to walk at a steady pace on this ride. The small roads you ride along are quiet, lined with trees and have beautiful verges.

A beautiful loop through the forest and along streams and rivers. A climb up to the plateau for some great views.

There is a trail that can be explored on foot or by mountain bike, connecting all these towns and offering beautiful views along the way. This will take you to the Château de Chalucet, an extraordinary medieval site.

A lovely walk in the woodlands along the Ligoure and Briance rivers, with a visit to Chalucet castle. This walk has been created in memory of Bernard, from the Amis de Chalucet Association and a great Camino walker who also walked to Rome and Bremen.
