As a complement, creative workshops offer children the joy of creating memories with their hands that they will treasure for a long time to come. Finally, for lunch breaks, the picnic area on the banks of the Vienne is a perfect spot to share a moment of complicity as a family, lulled by the murmur of the river. 💦

2. Terra Aventura in Saint Léonard

Free treasure hunts for all the family

This geocaching game is one of the best free activities with children in Limousin: it combines riddles, hidden clues and funny creatures to collect… A fun and original way to discover the medieval town in a different way, with the whole family.🧚‍♀️

The Terra Aventura trail in Saint-Léonard takes you from the historic centre to the banks of the Vienne. Beware, it’s a bit of a climb on the way back, but smiles are guaranteed on arrival! For a more leisurely route, head for the forêt d’Epagne or the banks of the Vienne near the Moulin du Got. Cool in summer, fun and 100% nature! 🌿

3. Saint-Léonard on a family mission!

A treasure hunt like no other, designed by the town's children

Need a simple, screen-free activity that’s full of meaning? Follow in the footsteps of the nursery school pupils who have devised an original treasure hunt to discover Saint-Léonard de Noblat.

Over 2 km, ten monuments are revealed with, at each stage, a creation made of porcelain from Limoges, a little physical challenge, a plantation and an explanatory text. The whole thing leads to a mystery word to piece together to win a surprise!

Perfect for a leisurely stroll with the little ones, as a complement to Terra Aventura. A great free activity with young children in Limousin to explore the city in a different way. 🧩

4. Splash, splash, laughter and sunshine!

Feet in the water at the pool or lake

Summer family holidays in the Haute-Vienne inevitably rhyme with swimming. At Saint-Léonard, the swimming pool is ideal for young and old alike: a special baby slot, entertainment for all ages, a wellness area with sauna and hammam… all split between indoor and outdoor pools, depending on the mood of the sky. 👙

🌿 Looking for a breath of fresh air? Head for the lakes! The huge, landscaped Vassivière promises a full day out with its 5 beaches and water sports activities.

5. Full steam ahead

Head for HistoRail®, a charming little museum where train lovers can rediscover their childlike souls. Miniature locomotives, scale models, driving cabs to try out: here, grown-ups share their memories, little ones play stationmaster. 🚉

And to extend the adventure, there’s nothing like a ride on the steam train of the Limousin. The sound of the whistle, smoke in the air, windows wide open… An unforgettable experience, to be enjoyed together, generation after generation. 🚂

6. Sport in the great outdoors

Fresh air for little adventurers

Active holidays = happy holidays! And let’s be honest: a child who’s had a good romp outside is a child who falls asleep quickly… Which leaves the parents free to breathe a little (or sip a kir limousin 🍹, in moderation of course). Here are our nature ideas to try out with your tribe:

  • Canoeing on the Vienne river 🚣 fresh sensations and wild landscapes
  • Horse or pony rides 🐴 in the Limousin countryside
  • Randos au vert 👟 very close to Saint-Léonard de Noblat
  • Fishing initiation… 🎣 with Papi in patience mode at the water’s edge

The ideal way to create memories while taking a deep breath! 🌿

7. Between science and stone magic

Journey to the heart of granite knowledge and dreams

  • Start by taking your children to the musée Gay Lussac dedicated to the great scientist born in Saint-Léonard de Noblat. Nestled in the former convent, it opens the doors to science: ancient instruments, discoveries, experiments… it’s all there to fascinate curious young and old alike. ⚗️
  • Then head for the Pierres Initiatiques de Saint-Nicolas: a monumental park fashioned alone, stone by stone, by an inspired artist. Between giant sculptures, enigmatic animals and spectacular architecture, wonder is guaranteed. But each work here is also a message: about nature, mankind and the world we are building. A visit full of meaning, to share with the whole family. 🧠

8. A high-tech, fun break

Between puzzles, apps and digital worlds

A stone’s throw from the collegiate church of Saint-Léonard de Noblat, L’Escalier is offering children and teenagers a summer of digital adventure! 🖱️
