Boucle de la Chapelle Saint-Dulcet
A very pleasant loop in the Monédières, with many sections in the forest, leading to the charming and unusual Saint-Dulcet Chapel. A very easy circuit with little elevation gain, making it accessible to all fitness levels.
Route around Lake Vassivière
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).
From the Vassivière Dam to Nergout
This first stage takes you through unspoilt countryside, with a route that is both wild and surprising.
Circular route on the slopes of the Puy des Fages
Starting from the village of Soudaine-Lavinadiaire, with its beautiful church and archaeological remains, you follow the valley of the River Soudaine before climbing the slopes of the Puy des Fages, from where you can enjoy sweeping views. To complete the picture, there are a few refreshing streams and green pastures, where Limousin cows and horses graze.
Route of the two dykes at Vassivière
The dam is complemented by the Auchaise dyke, which seals off a depression in the ground on the right bank about 400m from the main structure. This reservoir also receives water diverted from the upper basins of the Taurion (La Vaud-Gelade), Vienne, Dorat and Chandouille (Faux-la-Montagne) rivers.
Nergout - Vassivière Dam
Nature and Land Art for this second stage, around the 5th largest artificial lake in France!
The Chassagnas Peninsula on Lake Vassivière
Chassagnas, of Latin origin, Cassania or Gallic Cassanus, refers to the oak tree. Chassagnas consists of a wooded slope down to the edge of Lake Vassivière and a partially cleared summit offering a 180° view of the lake.The Chassagnas peninsula, jutting out into the heart of Lake Vassivière, forms the boundary between Creuse and Haute-Vienne. Together with its twin, the Puy du Rocher, which overlooks Vauveix, it acts as a barrier between the lake's two main bays.
Route des Tourbières - Vassivière
Peat bogs develop in granite basins called alveoli, where the acidic, poor soil provides favourable conditions for their growth. These fragile environments are home to a specific flora composed of very particular primitive plants: sphagnum mosses. The different stages are visible here: low marshes covered with quaking bogs, active raised bogs, and peat heaths bordered by willows and birches.
Chalucet castle and Ligoure woodland
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.
Le Père Castor, Meuzac Évasions trail
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).
Along the Béraude via La Roche Branlante
Explore the banks of the Béraude, a little-known river. This walk also takes you through the Epagne Forest, a listed site with soil that is unique to the region. Almost at the end of the route, the Roche Branlante, once again by the water’s edge, will amaze many.
The Deer Trail
From the12th-century church to the Château du Mas Cerise, this route takes you along avenues lined with majestic trees and a ridge path.
Circular loop from Saint-Pardoux-Morterolles to the Augerolles waterfalls
A circular route starting from Saint-Pardoux-Morterolles that also allows you to discover the Cascades d'Augerolles site. This hike passes through meadows, woods, forests and the areas around the waterfalls. A few panoramic views, streams and a plank bridge complete the picture. It should be noted that the roads, where there are any, are forest roads, some paved and some unpaved, but in any case very little used.
The Font Faure
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.
The Champs de Pierres and Augerolles waterfalls
At the edge of the Millevaches plateau, set off on a walk, accompanied by information panels, to explore a listed natural site covering 50 hectares.
Route des 7 Peux
The village of Royère-de-Vassivière was established on a strategic pass on the Millevaches plateau, at the crossing point of a prehistoric ridge path. The ridge paths (or pouges) allowed people to travel long distances. They favoured the granite peaks of the rounded hills, called Puy or Peux, and avoided the damp, peaty valley bottoms that only cattle frequented.
Haute Faye route
Discover the local heritage (crosses, fountains, wells...) and the skills of our ancestors.
Along the Mourne to the Roches Mazuras
The first part of the circuit takes you along La Mourne, a lively little river with numerous waterfalls and cascades. The second part takes you through the Faux-Mazuras forest, and the third part finally takes you to the top of the Roches Mazuras, in a corner of moorland, where you can enjoy unobstructed views.
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.
The Bois des Bœufs route in Bourganeuf
Starting from the medieval town of Bourganeuf, this route immerses you in a haven of countryside. Between the murmur of the Mourne waterfalls and the rocky panorama of the Roches de Mazuras, you’ll pass through a sanctuary of greenery where time seems to have stood still.
Route No. 45: Le Bois des Bœufs.
Tour of Puy d'Orliac
Starting from the charming Romanesque church in Veix, this is a pleasant circular forest route dotted with green pastures and beautiful old houses.
The oaks of Murat
A mini-hike to discover the remarkable heritage of the hamlet of Murat: the Moulin de Travers site, the beautiful Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens church, a beautiful carved cross and two very beautiful oak trees.
Longerade bog
Discover the peat bog via beautiful forest tracks.
From Muret to the edge of Les Vergnes
This walk is situated at the foot of the foothills of the Monts d’Ambazac range. Rich in varied landscapes, it alternates between forest trails, visits to small villages and sections across the plains.
The Muret Heights
To ease into the climb up the small Monts d’Ambazac mountain range, I suggest you take the lovely forest paths overlooking the Domaine du Muret in Ambazac.
Valleys and forests of the Ambazac mountains from Jonas Pond.
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.
Tour of the puys starting from Pradines
Prepare your calves and set off to conquer the Monèdières peaks, pushing your limits. A hike that is as breathtaking as it is exhausting. Beautiful forests and superb panoramic views. Bring a spare pair of socks: there are a few streams to cross. A few kilometres of road in total (~5), but very, very little traffic.
