The Monts du Limousin

The Monts du Limousin are just a few minutes from Limoges, in the Haute-Vienne region of France, and offer a lively, protected natural environment with the Arboretum de la Jonchère, the Tourbière des Dauges, the Pierre Branlante with its breathtaking panorama, the Lac de Saint-Pardoux with its many activities, and spectacular sites such as the Viaduc de Rocherolles. It’s also a great place for outdoor sports and leisure activities, with numerous beautiful hiking trails and trail courses, and the famous Gendarmes et Voleurs 100% nature race is a living symbol of this. You’ll find plenty of cultural and discovery activities here, including the “petites vadrouilles” program. You’ll also find plenty of good local produce and markets for healthy eating. See you soon in the Monts du Limousin!
