General presentation

Millevaches Plateau

Wild plateau, lakes, forests, discrete villages and log-in stay.

The discovery of Plateau de Millevaches revolves around Lakes, Forets and Tres low density. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, forests, shores and lakes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: dispersed services. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Lake

Lac de Vassivière

4.5 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs on site · estimate

The lake of Vassivière opens onto a wide panorama and more secret areas: scents, wooded tips, open banks. The site reads very well if it voluntarily passes from a panoramic plane to a riverside detail. A bright afternoon makes the contrasts more obvious.

City

Meymac

4.4 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs on site · estimate

Meymac offers a valley front and streets that gently bring back to the more natural spaces of the plateau. Daily uses give human matter to the setting, which makes the visit more incarnate than purely panoramic. The time at the beginning of the day improves the readability of the atmospheres.

Village

Tarnac

4.3 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs on site · estimate

Tarnac reads at two tempos: usual center and exits to the surrounding ridges. Subtle changes in landscape volume can be seen better if one jumps from one point of view to another. An unhurried walk gives a more coherent narrative.

Mountain

Mont Bessou

4.3 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs on site · estimate

Mount Bessou offers a panorama that gradually opens and values the thickness of the plateau. The summit is interesting only if we have taken the time to evaluate the climb that leads to the views. In the afternoon, the landscape scale becomes more comfortable to read.
