VASSIVIÈRE LAKE
The largest stretch of water in the Limousin region, a place for water sports activities and geocaching trails for unusual discoveries.
On the borders of Haute-Vienne and Creuse, and close to Corrèze, Lac de Vassivière is the largest body of water in the Limousin region, a veritable inland sea. With a thousand hectares of crystal-clear water and five bathing sites, it offers a wide range of water sports, from pedal boats and motorboats to canoes, towed buoys, water-skiing and sailing, and you can even take your boating licence. Depart from Auphelle for a guided cruise. As for fishing, the lake is home to carnivores in general, and trout in particular. Numerous hiking trails have been laid out around the lake, including one that circles the entire lake for 30 km: the Sentier de rives, with picnic areas. Miles of marked trails can be found on the "rando-Millevaches" website and app. Convenient shuttle boats provide links between various points on the lake, and a small tourist train runs between the buffet de la Gare at the entrance to the footbridge and the Ile de Vassivière. Don't miss the temporary or permanent open-air works at the Bois de sculptures, or a visit to the Centre international d'art contemporain. Throughout the summer, summer visitors can enjoy a wide range of cultural events, including concerts, dance, theater, circus, storytelling, open-air cinema and storytelling. Over thirty events in two months, from Wednesday to Sunday. The ideal combo of nature, sport and culture!
