The Portes de Vassivière territory, nestled in the heart of the Millevaches Regional Nature Park in Limousin, is a prime destination for nature lovers and heritage enthusiasts. Its exceptional natural environment offers a wealth of outdoor activities, including hiking, forest walks and water sports in the surrounding lakes and rivers.
Lac de Vassivière, one of the main attractions, stands out for its picturesque scenery and the diversity of its activities, from swimming to canoeing, walking or cycling around the lake. Lac de Sainte-Hélène, more discreet and intimate, is perfect for those seeking tranquillity and relaxation.
On the cultural front, the region is not to be outdone, with its many high-quality heritage sites. The medieval town of Eymoutiers, designated a “Petite Cité de Caractère”, embodies the charm of local history. Lovers of contemporary art will appreciate the Espace Paul Rebeyrolle, dedicated to the artist of the same name, as well as the Centre international d’art et du paysage, which offers exhibitions and artistic events throughout the year.
Between nature, art and culture, the Portes de Vassivière offer the ideal setting for a rejuvenating and enriching stay!
