Ussel (Corrèze) walks

A mini-hike to discover the historic centre of the small medieval town of Ussel.

A route through the pine woods starting from the village of Saint-Angel. A circular route mostly on trails, surrounded by the pine trees typical of the Haute-Corrèze, which begins at the magnificent 12th-century priory.

First stage of a seven-day circular hike, to get a taste of what the Plateau de Millevaches has to offer: viewpoints, remarkable small buildings, an archaeological site, forests and streams... A route full of discoveries!

An easy walk from the Jassonneix monastery, a landmark in Meymac, to Mont Bessou, the highest point in Limousin (1,000 metres if you include the panoramic tower). The walk follows forest paths and a quiet road.

Near Meymac, Mont Bessou (976 m) is the highest point of the Millevaches Plateau. From the top of its observation tower at just under 1,000 metres, the view is simply magnificent. This hike takes you there via the Vézère springs through the Longéroux peat bogs at the foot of Puy Pendu.

Set off to explore the forest trails along the edge of the Millevaches Regional Nature Park and the banks of the Triouzoune, where you can stop for a picnic.

A circular in the heart of the Corrèze forest, starting with a view of the church's free-standing bell tower, unique in France, and the wrought iron sculptures surrounding the monument. Set off to explore the deciduous and coniferous woods, listening to the sounds of the trees and birds, and if you're lucky, you may even encounter some wild animals.

Starting from the village of Chavanac, with its charming granite buildings, set off to explore a vast and peaceful natural site: the Longeyroux bog, where you can see and hear a multitude of things.

You will walk through the Longeyroux peat bog, where you will discover the sources of the Vézère river, in which you can take a dip. You can also follow a discovery trail through the peat bog with educational information boards.

This hike, starting from the village of Millevaches, will take you to Chavanac, a restored village with a beautiful Romanesque church and stone houses.

A short discovery trail to discover the Sources de la Vienne, the natural peat bogs and those created by shepherds.Please note: this discovery trail appears to be poorly maintained in view of the reviews. The Visorando application is recommended to follow the itinerary.

Short circular to discover Bort-les-Orgues from the top of the organ pipes (cliffs) that gave this charming little town its name. Moderator's warning: Please note! A notice dated 7 September 2020 indicates that the section between (5) and (6) is closed.

A long loop starting from Saint-Merd-les-Oussines, through forests and moorland, to discover the remarkable Tourbière de Longeyroux, nicknamed the Tourbière des Cent Pierres (Bog of a Hundred Stones), where a multitude of rivulets are born, providing sources for the Vézère.But be careful! There are long stretches of road on this route.

During this walk, you will discover some of the many ponds in the commune of Flayat. You are in a mushroom-rich area and the landscape is spectacular in autumn when the trees are ablaze with colour and reflected in the ponds.

A short, easy, shaded circular walk from Cheyssac (in the commune of Vebret in Cantal) to the Saut de la Saule, a steep-sided gorge on the Rhue. The Rhue is a tributary of the Dordogne that separates Cantal and Corrèze (and therefore Auvergne from Limousin) near Bort-Les-Orgues.
