Saint-Pardoux en Limousin: a holiday in the heart of natureHeritage, know-how, activities

Lac de Saint-Pardoux and the surrounding area in Limousin

What’s this lake 20 minutes from Limoges that offers all these activities?

It’s the Lac de Saint-Pardoux and its tourist resort in the Monts du Limousin!

It’s a destination with two faces, one with protected and lively nature (there’s talk of nature sports) in the Monts de Blond and the Monts d’Ambazac and the other with a rich architectural heritage.

Around the Lac de Saint-Pardoux, there are towns with character; Le Dorat – Petites Cités de Caractère® and Mortemart – among the Most Beautiful Villages in France in the Haut Limousin. Have you ever heard of village museums? This is the discovery of the Rural nostalgia trail at Montrol-Senard.

Give in to temptation and book your holiday or weekend break!
