ショーメイのおすすめツーリングルート

If you don't take the detour from the GR, you'll have to look for the trails west of the summit... but the view is great, weather permitting.

suitable for hot weather because high and partly dense forest

very pretty village, typical of Corrèze with old signs on the shops.

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.

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.

Picnic tables

On the banks of the Corrèze, a 5-minute walk from the town center of the same name, is the Notre-Dame du Pont du Salut chapel. Built for the first time in the 15th century, the restorations of the 18th and 19th centuries profoundly modified it.

Beautiful panoramic view to the low mountain range.
