The Ouest Limousin

From the Gorre valley to the sources of the Bandiat, take the time to discover the wealth of the Périgord’s historical and scenic heritage-Limousin 🍃 Just 35 km from Limoges in the south-west of the Haute-Vienne, St Laurent sur Gorre, Oradour sur Vayres and the surrounding area are a must for the nature lover, the curious gourmet or the accomplished sportsman. Our paths through bocage and forest, the soul of our old stones, our preserved natural sites, will all provide opportunities for rejuvenating strolls.

La Boutique des Créateurs

Local know-how

For souvenirs and delicacies “made in Limousin” 🤩 In 2012, the tourist office created a boutique dedicated to Périgord-Limousin know-how with local craftsmen, offering a unique exhibition and sales venue in the countryside. A nod to our inspiring environment and the artists who have chosen to make it their home, the shop is a genuine meeting place for the region’s ancestral and contemporary talents. Since 2022, taste artisans have been making their appearance at the Boutique des Créateurs, with delicacies that are 100% Limousin.
