Saint-Ybard walks

This lovely little walk will allow you to explore the banks of the river: the Vézère. Downstream from the town of Uzerche. An old saying goes:“He who has a house in Uzerche has a castle in Limousin”.

A magnificent walk overlooking the Vézère river, following the route of the old "Paris Orléans Corrèze" railway line on the way there, returning on the other bank along the Vézère and crossing the old town of Uzerche.

The route first climbs towards Puy Chammard on a quiet road with clear views of Uzerche. After that, it mainly follows paths to make a large circular route around Espartignac, crossing the Troh stream several times. This part offers clear views towards Les Monédières. The route ends along the Vézère river.

A lovely path winding through the countryside along sunken lanes. A fairly shaded and cool route, recommended in hot weather. Report from a user on 28 October 2024:Following the bad weather of recent months, the path from "La Brégère" is closed to cyclists and >hikers by a municipal order. Indeed, the two bridges over the Habriat stream are impassable. No >repair date mentioned.

A walk starting from the lake, which takes you along numerous tarmac sections, through fields on well-maintained paths, with streams crossing the path in places.

A very beautiful walk, well signposted in yellow, passing close to the Vézère and over the castle mound of Château L'Abbaye. The Maison du Loup is a shelter, incorrectly named a ‘dolmen’, which was used to watch over the ford across the Vézère on the precious metals route.

Hike in the Vézère gorges starting from Vigeois, a charming little village where you can see a magnificent 11th-century abbey church, destroyed and rebuilt in 1489 after the Hundred Years' War. On this route, you will pass the old hospital (1840), cross the old bridge (12th century, known as the Pont des Anglais) and walk around half-timbered houses. A little further on, you will find an old carding mill.

This hike will take you to the ruins of two old mills dating from the 18th century, built on the Brezou stream. You can see old millstones, dykes, a supply channel and the ruins of the Moulin de la Forêt building with the water inlets under the mill.

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.

A pleasant hike with little elevation gain, following wide farm tracks and quiet country roads.

This route will allow you to discover or rediscover the traditional craft of making the ‘couade’, an iconic object of the village of Troche, which used to be found in every home.

Impossible to cross the path, which is closed by municipal order.This lovely walk will take you to discover La Chartreuse du Glandier, founded in 1219, known at the time as "Notre-Dame du Glandier", destroyed during the Revolution of 1789 and rebuilt to its present state by the Carthusian Fathers in 1869.You will also discover the Étang de La Rechèze, built in 1457 to serve as a reservoir feeding the Canal des Moines (1457).Today it is a care home for people with intellectual disabilities.

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.

A pleasant walk along mostly shaded paths and quiet country lanes in the Corrèze countryside. The path is maintained by Tulle Agglo and is marked in white.

This route from Lagraulière features long stretches through the Blanchefort Forest and crosses the Brézou stream several times.
