Château de Châlucet

On the outskirts of Limoges, the towers of Châlucet invite you to explore.

Oyez, Oyez, ladies and gentlemen, take a trip back in time to the Middle Ages!

Comfortable, multi-level knight's residence

Since the 12th century, various families of knights have settled on this strategic site close to Limoges. The castral village included some twenty large, prestigious houses. You can visit their remains with a guide or the “Haute-Vienne Explor Games®” app.

Say, Jeannette, don't you see anything coming?

From the top of the Tour Jeannette, you can see far, far away! 23 metres high, it has dominated the lower castrum since the late 12th century. A sign of seigniorial power, today it offers an incomparable 360° view of the Limousin forest.

Why is Châlucet a must?

The Châlucet-Ligoure site is a magical place: the Briance and Ligoure streams meet here under the tall trees, and you can hear their murmur… A historical journey and a reconnection with nature are on the agenda!
