Lac de Saint-Pardoux and surroundings 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 a protected and lively natural environment (it’s all about nature sports) in the Monts de Blond and Monts d’Ambazac, and the other with a rich architectural heritage.

Around Lac de Saint-Pardoux, you’ll find 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? Discover the Nostalgie Rurale trail in Montrol-Senard.

Give in to temptation and book your vacation or weekend!
