サンマルタンシャトーのおすすめランニングルート

The tour of the Chassagnas peninsula allows you to discover the magnificent landscapes of Lake Vassivière. You explore the pasture on the peninsula as well as the small island of Vauveix.

The Lac de Vassivière [vasivjɛʁ] (Occitan Vaciviéra) is one of the largest artificial lakes in France with an area of about 10 km². It is located on the Plateau de Millevaches in the departments of Creuse and Haute-Vienne. It is the largest body of water in the Limousin region of France and is used for water supply, hydroelectric power and recreation. It was built between 1947 and 1950 by Électricité de France.

The Vassivière Lake Tour, near Châteaucourt, is a scenic and peaceful route. The loop around the lake offers stunning views of the water, surrounded by forests and hills. As you cycle along the well-maintained roads, you will discover beautiful natural scenery, making it a perfect mix of relaxation and exercise.

Superb walk, beautiful nature. I highly recommend this tour of the lake.

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.

Lake Vassivière was created in 1950 to cover the energy needs of France. The dam is almost 33 meters high and 25 meters thick at its base, only 3 meters at the top.

possible access in gravel by the hiking trail

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