856m d'altitude

The panoramic tower of Mont Bessou, located in Meymac, is a remarkable site in the Millevaches regional natural park in Limousin. Perched at a symbolic altitude of 1,000 meters, this 26-meter structure offers a breathtaking panorama, which even allows you to see as far as Puy-de-Dôme on a clear day. The site, complete with picnic tables, is also the starting point for numerous hiking trails.

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.

Summit of Limousin, which is accessed via a very beautiful forest road. All observation and small free treetop adventure course for children at the summit

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.

A pretty town with beautiful old buildings, pretty fountains and beautiful views.
