A peat bog is a wetland of stagnant water where plant organic matter (peat) accumulates in thicker and thicker strata, but very slowly, at a rate of one millimeter per year!
The eastern part of the Monts et Barrages region is ideal for the formation of peat bogs (high rainfall; relief facilitating the accumulation of this water in the alveoli, the flat-bottomed granite basins of the Limousin mountains; cold climate; impermeable rock preventing infiltration). Fine examples can be seen in Beaumont-du-Lac, with the Tourbière de la Route Elevée.
La Tourbière de la Route Elevée is a small peat bog located at the end of a pond. The site is home to a number of different peatland facies, but is currently quite degraded due to a number of factors
