Montgibaud walks
The Sully Linden Tree
Sully, then a minister under Henry IV, donated a lime tree to the village of Montgibaud. Now lost following the storm of 1999, this lime tree, planted in front of the church, was intended to provide shelter for the villagers’ gatherings held after mass.
This route through the Limousin countryside follows springs that flow along the paths, passes through woodland, and leads to hamlets or opens out onto rolling meadows. You’ll enjoy a beautiful view of the motte at Coursaleix and Plazat.
