La Pierre Folle in Saint-Priest-la-Feuille
Here is a short, easy route, at the centre of which stands a fabulous megalith, complete with its inevitable array of curses and frightening legends. The route consists of tracks, a stretch of road and a path, and is combined with a fitness trail between the dolmen and the village.
Randoguide: Bridiers through the ages
On the outskirts of La Souterraine, set off on this guided walk which, from antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages, brings to life the daily lives of our ancestors. Human settlement here has a long history, the evolution of which can be traced through the landscape.
From the shores of the Étang du Cheix to the sunken paths lined with boxwood, from the archaeological remains scattered throughout the countryside to the imposing silhouette of the castle, this excursion will transport you through time and across the ages.
Grande Cazine Pond
The Cazine ponds walking guide was produced in partnership with the Conservatoire d'Espaces Naturels and the local association A4P. It highlights the exceptional heritage around two ponds currently undergoing ecological conversion. The pleasant route alternates between distant views and the immediate surroundings of these wetlands. If possible, bring a smartphone with you to access the information provided along the route.
The Bois de Bessac
Starting from the little chapel at Le Dognon, this walk alternates between footpaths and small roads, and takes you to two places of notable interest: the Peu de l’Age, which offers a beautiful view overlooking the Vitrat pond, and the Bois de Bessac, much loved for its atmosphere and cool, refreshing surroundings.
The Bessines-sur-Gartempe Uranium Mine Trail
A walk along a narrow, steep path overlooking the Gartempe bypass.
A glimpse of the Benaize
A short stretch of quiet road marks the start of this route, which winds through the area around Bussière-Madeleine and continues along beautiful paths, crossing the Ruisseau de la Benaize. Charming discoveries also take us in the footsteps of a famous local figure.
Circular des Bordes and Catheraud
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.
The Faille des Trois Provinces
Cascading streams, mysterious places of worship and unexpected views set the scene for this short, fairly hilly route through the Versille countryside. You’ll pass from the Sédelle valley to the Chaudron valley, walking over the hills that form the geological fault line of the Marche fault. Where possible, do bring a smartphone to access the information provided along the route.
From Le Mas to La Cazine
A hike full of contrasts, alternating between sections on the plain and along the hillside. Unobstructed views, an intimate atmosphere and babbling brooks that gurgle more or less loudly depending on the season.
Les Combes de la Cazine
A very refreshing route that takes you along the little Cazine stream through the woodland after crossing the heather moor at the start of the route.
An information board awaits you at the start of the route to help you discover this area, rich in flora and fauna that changes with the seasons.
Towards the Bois Cornu
Not far from Vareilles, this is a pleasant walk that takes you briefly into the woods in question. From here, it’s perfectly possible to venture as far as the shores of the nearby Étang de la Chaume.
The Bayeux des Taffres scrubland
The Puy de Massert (and its remarkable beech trees) served as a lookout point for the Bayeux Maquis (named after the first town liberated by the Allies).
Les trois puys de Villard
Les paysages sur la vallée de la Creuse sont stupéfiants et variés. Vous verrez des cours d'eau, des forêts, le Moulin de Villard qui fonctionne encore, des vielles maison et des vaches (en saison). Bref un condensé de Creuse en une seule randonnée.
Circular route along the northern shore of Lake Saint-Pardoux
Covering approximately 330 hectares, Lake Saint-Pardoux is the second largest body of water in the Haute-Vienne department. Due to its irregular shape, the tour of the lake is no less than 24 km long. This hike is more accessible in length and takes you along the northern shore of the lake after climbing through the countryside to the outskirts of Chatenet Colon.
Étang de la Chaume
The vast Étang de la Chaume conceals little-known spots that this interpretive route invites you to discover as you walk along part of the shoreline and wander through the surrounding woods and heathland. Please be considerate of wildlife and anglers, and wear sturdy footwear in wet weather.
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.
The Bois de Derrière
The Bois de Derrière route combines wide paths, lovely tracks and small, well-shaded roads. The hedgerow landscape is a major part of the charm of this easy walk. Ponds, wash houses, fords, ditches and wet pastures: although subtle, water is present throughout the landscape.
⚠️ Please note: engineering works are underway on the railway line between points (1) and (2). From the start (S/E): take the road to point (2), or go directly to point (3).
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.
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.
