サンマルタンシャトーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A typical plateau for Millevaches, with lots of ferns and heather… and a beautiful view.

The peat bogs on the Millevaches Plateau are unique, protected natural gems and home to exceptional biodiversity. Peat bogs are true natural sponges, play a vital role in regulating water balance and climate, and provide a refuge for numerous protected species. In this specific case, the Ruisseau du Pic has been able to expand in the depression below Augerolles, creating such a wetland before cascading down the valley. The high content of dissolved organic matter provided by the bog can be seen in the reddish hue of the water in this area.

Hemp was an indispensable raw material during the milling period here. Its fibers were strong and resilient, and they were processed into all kinds of products, such as clothing, bags, and cloths. The hemp mill helped separate the fibers from the other plant parts and prepare them for further processing.

A small berm adjacent to the campsite. There are several shady benches and a restaurant 100 meters away.

During a mountain bike ride in the middle of the Limousin hills, it is pleasant to stop on the banks of this imposing dam lake to admire its calm waters.

Magnificent view of the whole area from the top of the lighthouse!
