    Hiking

    The archaeological site of Les Cars is one of the most impressive in Limousin. It offers everything you need to understand the great Roman era. It's also located in a magnificent natural setting between moors and forests, on the Millevaches plateau. Whether you're passionate about history, engineering, religion, or heritage, you'll find a site rich in learning: it includes construction techniques, agriculture, water management, and the religious rites of the time.

    Hiking

    Take 3 minutes to go down the path which will lead you to the remains of the Gallo-Roman villa and its water channels, cut into the stone.
