EymoutiersLittle City of Character

Eymoutiers, Petite Cité de Caractère in Limousin

Looking for a breath of fresh air? Head for Eymoutiers, one of the nuggets of the Limousin! 🌿

With its narrow streets full of character, contemporary art and nature as far as the eye can see, it’s easy to fall under its spell. 🤩

All this, just a stone’s throw from the Lac de Vassivière and right in the heart of the Millevaches plateau… Makes you want to, doesn’t it 😉

A park between nature, memory and creation

Looking for a peaceful place to stroll by the water? Head for the Pré Lanaud park! 🌿

Among the trees and quiet paths, you’ll come face to face with strange giant silhouettes made of dark wood…

These are the works of Christian Lapie, installed here as a reminder of the history of the site and an invitation to reflect.

A place that is both soothing and inspiring, perfect for a nature break in the heart of Eymoutiers. 🧡

A balcony overlooking the city

How about a bit of height?

Climb up to the belvedere, this natural balcony perched above Pré Lanaud, it’s THE place to be. 👀

There, the town of Eymoutiers is revealed in all its splendour: its narrow streets, its collegiate church and the famous Ursuline Convent.

A panoramic view not to be missed! 🤩

Psst: it’s also one of the best spots for a photo break. 📸
