Good asphalt all around the lake, sometimes 10% a bit bumpy.

View of Lake Vassivière

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.

Vassivière Island

Highlight • Lake

We arrive on the Island of Vassivière by a footbridge forbidden to cars. On the island, we discover the International Center for Art and Landscape and the old castle.

In the gardens 63 works are scattered in the "sculpture wood".
