HIKING

In the immediate surroundings and in the Limousin, numerous hiking trails are available on the internet and at the Tourist Offices for experienced and novice hikers. The pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela passes our domain. Fun activity with the children is Geocoaching treasure hunt (terra aventura website or at the tourist office). The terra aventura routes are often only a few kilometres long and set in beautiful areas. This also makes these routes great for hiking with young children. The routes are also worthwhile without the geocoaching activity.

BIKE

Close to our domain runs the Voie Verte. This is an old railway line between Chalus and Oradour-sur-Vayres where a 15 km long cycling-walking path has been created. In Chalus it is possible to rent a bicycle. There are also plenty of opportunities for cycling and mountain biking in the Limousin. The Limousin has a dense network of small roads with little traffic and which are relatively well maintained.
