Fortress of Châlucet

At the gates of Limoges, the towers of Châlucet invite you to come and explore.

Oyez, Oyez, damoiselles et damoiseaux, borrow the corridors of time, head for the Middle Ages.

Co-propriété de chevaliers with all the comforts on several levels

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

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

From the top of the Jeannette Tower, you can see far, far away! 23 metres high, it has dominated the lower castrum since the end of the 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 historic journey and a reconnection with nature are on the agenda!
