Saint-Ybard walks

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 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.

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.

Feedback received on 19/12/2024. Still relevant on 25 August 2025.(!) Route impassable from La Rechèze due to a breach at the pond’s overflow. 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.

A lovely ride that alternates between woodland and open countryside, leading you to discover some stunning architectural heritage.

An easy and pleasant path in all weathers. It offers views of numerous horses in the pastures surrounding the Chignac estate.

A very shaded walk, recommended on hot days. The Étang du Merle is the lovely surprise of this walk.

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).

This hike takes you on an excursion into the Pompadour National Forest.

A beautiful hike on quiet paths and roads. The hike is very well marked in yellow from the church in Perpezac-le-Noir.

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

The Vézère Gorges can only be explored on foot. Follow me, you won't be disappointed... Moderator's note Hiking no longer seems possible on certain sections. See reviews

A beautiful, mostly shaded hike from the Estivaux plateau to the Vézère. Much of the hike is on paths, including theGR®46. Some sections are not marked. The hike offers views of Comborn Castle above the Vézère.

The walk soon joins the old route of the “Paris-Orléans-Corrèze” railway line, which runs between the hamlet and the Bussières mill. It runs partly alongside the Brézou stream and several ponds. On the outskirts of the Étang Neuf at Seilhac, the walk returns via wide paths.

A very pleasant walk through the forest, offering exceptional views of the Objat valley at the end of the route.Best done at the weekend to avoid any disturbance from quarry activities. User comment on 24 August 2025.(!) After the ruins of Patel, the footbridge (4) that crosses the river has collapsed and it is not possible to ford the river. A detour is signposted on site. This detour takes you to Rouffignac. Alternatively, you can follow "le chemin du Maquis", which is a little technical at at the moment. Comment from a user on 29 December 2025.The second footbridge (under the ruins of Patel) has been repaired and the path can be followed as indicated.
