Limousin

Make a getaway to Limousin and plunge into the lushest holiday destination you could imagine – a land of trees, water and pure, clean air.

Almost entirely covered by a thick carpet of vegetation, lit up by a large number of rivers and lakes, Limousin is a haven of profoundly harmonious landscapes. The whole region holds out an open invitation to peaceful exploration of its natural attractions: the Millevaches plateau, the Vassivière lake, and the Dordogne, Vézère and Vienne valleys… Its châteaux and Medieval villages  – Collonges-la-Rouge, Curemonte or Mortemart – and the little Norman churches are just part of the rich historic and cultural heritage. Finally, Limousin is a land of traditions which knows how to receive you. Come and enjoy the convivial mood at meal times in guest houses, gîtes and farm inns, savour the authentic and delicious local cuisine and local produce, passed on in recipes from generation to generation.
