Roussac:

Roussac reserves a multitude of pleasant surprises that strolls and looks. The village keeps the vestiges of an old past in its constructed inheritance, with in particular its good fountain. From there, the visitor can go on the hiking trails where nature offers many pleasures, between ponds and heather, valleys and hills, a palette of colors, scents, sensations... It will not fail to notice the traditional character of the villages, the animals in the meadows, with of course the Limousin cow, but also the sheep and what is rare elsewhere: deer and deer, (in captivity), a large botanical variety, an old chestnut (from 700 years old), heathers, wetlands with a diversity linked to these places in the flora and fauna, with in particular many royal bones along the river Couze, whose banks offer unforgettable walks.

Saint-Pardoux:

Saint-Pardoux is the town that gave its name to the second Lake Limousin by its area north of Limoges.

Many events are held throughout the year around the Halle (presumed thirteenth century) and on the church square (twelfth and thirteenth centuries).

In addition, the lake of Saint-Pardoux located near this dynamic village offers many outdoor activities (water skiing, sailing, pedal boats, fishing...). All this in a relaxing and natural setting, conducive to many walks along the hiking trails that will take you to the former wash house and the botanical garden of Saint-Pardoux. So come relax and discover the charm and beauty of the landscapes around Saint-Pardoux.

Saint-Symphorien-sur-Couze:

This small rural town located near the lake of Saint-Pardoux has a very rich past. The origin of the church dates back to the 12th century, but was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Do not hesitate to discover the bridge with two arches on the Couze and the chapel Saint-Martin de Genouillas located in the middle of woods and heaths. At 50 meters, there is a rock with two cavities which are said to be "the steps of the mule of the saint". The pilgrims who come in devotion place their knees in the hollow of the rock to obtain healing rheumatism. In a nearby fountain, coins were thrown away so that children would not bump their ankles while walking. On the cross, the pilgrims still deposit ex-votos to attract the saint's protection on the stables. This pilgrimage, which takes place on the first Sunday of May, is one of the best known in Haute-Vienne. Every year, on the 15th of August, there is a thresher's party, completed by a garage sale.
