From the Gorre Valley to the headwaters of the Bandiat, take the time to discover the rich historical and natural heritage of the Périgord-Limousin 🍃
Located 35 km from Limoges, in the south-west of Haute-Vienne, St Laurent-sur-Gorre, Oradour-sur-Vayres and their surroundings are a must-visit for nature lovers, curious foodies and keen sports enthusiasts alike. Our paths through wooded countryside and forests, the spirit of our ancient buildings, and our unspoilt natural sites all offer opportunities for rejuvenating walks.
If you’re ready to venture off the beaten track, we look forward to welcoming you with great pleasure!
