The Noblat areaon the road to roaming

The Noblat region, on the road to roaming

The Noblat region is becoming more and more involved in itinerancy. Currently a stopover on the Camino de Compostela, the years to come will see other major itineraries being built and extended to reach our beautiful region. This is a great opportunity to develop our tourism business by welcoming these special groups!

Focus on existing itineraries... and those under construction!

Against a backdrop of changing tourism practices, with the Nouvelle Aquitaine region emerging as France’s leading sustainable tourism destination, the Communauté de Communes de Noblat is becoming even more involved in itinerant tourism, as a stopover on a number of major national itineraries.

This commitment translates into a real opportunity for the region’s accommodation and other businesses, as these new itineraries will attract tourist flows focused on soft mobility!

Véloroute 56 - Saint-Jacques by bike

Cycle route 56 also links Vézelay to Limoges, covering almost 430 km of cycle paths. This itinerary, officially launched in 2022, is one of France’s three tourist cycle routes.

Attended by an international public, this itinerary is tending to develop, on the one hand for its touristicity (immersion in French architectural and landscape heritage) and on the other for its practicality (fully signposted).
