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.

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

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).

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.

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.

An easy route with magnificent views of Forsac Castle and the village of Masseret. You will pass by Font Faure, a devotional fountain that is the site of a pilgrimage where the clothes of the sick are placed on the cross. The fountain is located in the beautiful and large forest of the same name, part of which is a hunting reserve, near Forsac.

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 is a pleasant, shaded walk, away from roads, along the banks of the River Isle, at the foot of the Château de Jumilhac-le-Grand. Have fun counting the number of bridges you cross. Here's a clue: you can count them on the fingers of one hand.

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

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

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.
