Nestled on the banks of the Vézère River, Bugeat offers all local amenities, making it convenient for starting a hike or stopping off for a short break. The village is known for its church, with its characteristic bell tower, and its sports training center, founded by Olympic champion Alain Mimoun.

A friendly and pleasant refreshment bar, where you can have a coffee or other drinks, and stock up on supplies.

Chaumeil may not seem like much, but this seemingly insignificant village is home to two local celebrities. A charming museum open only during the summer season pays tribute to Jean Ségurel, the famous accordionist born and died in the village. The museum also has a bicycle by Raymond Poulidor, a famous French cyclist born in Masbaraud-Mérignat in the Creuse. The famous “Allez Poupou” is inscribed in the collective memory of cyclists. His duels with Anquetil contributed to the legend of the Tour de France.

Beautiful steady descent into Tulle along the river

Magnificent Sully lime tree. Departure of the hike to Clédat.

The village of Bonnefond has this particularity, like others including Tarnac, of having a four-hundred-year-old tree, here in this case a so-called Sully lime tree. This imposing lime tree has withstood the ravages of time and weather, even if it has been "pampered" in recent years. Adjoining this venerable lime tree, discover the 15th century granite church, of modest construction, and yet whose interior does not leave you indifferent with its floor paved with thick stones, and its oculus on the north wall. Finally, we will be truly impressed, as we can be in every village, by the terrible tribute paid here by the locals during the First World War: 55 lost their lives there, devastating families, ruining the rural fabric, its agriculture and economy. Let's not forget them.

The church of Lestards is the only one in France to have a thatched roof, with its 15th century architecture, built mainly in granite. The granite floor has well-recognizable tombstones, although the carvings that adorn them are fairly worn, and old enough that it is not known which local dignitary was buried there.

The city prefecture of Tulle is not revealed at first glance, you have to get lost in the alleys of the old districts (Alverge, Trech, Barussie, Barrière...) and discover its architectural heritage, climb stairs to discover remarkable viewpoints, stroll through its markets, push open the doors of shops, taste local specialities, etc.
