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

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.

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

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 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 very well-marked yellow trail starting from Vigeois. It is possible to continue on to Pontcharal Lake and walk around it.

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.

A lovely walk that combines the pleasure of walking with a sense of remembrance. You will follow in the footsteps of those very young resistance fighters who stood up to the Nazi occupation and gave their lives for our freedom. Thank you to: Mario, Charles, Athos, Edouard, Raymond, Léon, André, Jacques, Jean, Marcel, Guy Jules, Gaston..... Lest we forget.

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

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

An easy path which, after passing through the village, heads out into the fields to offer lovely views of the countryside.

Sentier familial, sans difficulté majeure, pour une balade entre ville et campagne.

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

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.

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 lovely, very natural trail offering beautiful views of the countryside. There is a bit of an elevation gain to take into account, but alternative routes reduce the trail’s length from the original 11 kilometres to 8 or 6 kilometres.

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.

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.

A pleasant walk on the heights of Voutezac, with magnificent views over the Brive valley and Voutezac.

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 allows you to explore the villages of Chabrignac and Juillac, as well as numerous scenic viewpoints. It follows almost exclusively tarmac roads. It is, above all, a very easy walk, accessible to everyone and requiring no special equipment .

This route crosses the Montcheyrol forest, classified as a ZNIEFF (Natural Area of Ecological, Faunistic and Floristic Interest). This is a beautiful walk in a wooded area dominated by deciduous trees, including oak, beech, chestnut, ash, black locust and cherry, through the heart of which flows the Tourmente river, which has carved out its territory by shaping the rock. This walk can be extended with a stroll through the streets of Juillac, among its characterful houses with slate roofs.

This route offers a mix of meadows, apple orchards, woodland and a stream. It allows you to explore the surrounding countryside, with the Château de Hautefort to the west and the limestone hills of Ayen Yssandon and Saint-Robert.

This route offers various views of the village of Juillac and the surrounding area.
