Where to go
Millevaches en Limousin Natural Regional Park
East of Limoges, the Millevaches en Limousin Natural Regional Park sits in the foothills of the Massif Central mountain range, spilling over into the departments of Corrèze and Creuse. This is classic hiking turf, where trails take you over wildflower meadows, windswept moorlands, and peat bogs, and you’ll never be far from a campsite, gite, or roadside aire (motorhome park).
Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park
To the southwest, the ancient woodlands and scenic waterways of Périgord-Limousin Natural Regional Park stretch down in the Dordogne. Bring your bike, as the gently rolling roads are ideal for leisurely cycling, stopping off to visit historic chateaux, take a truffle hunting tour, or ride the Vélo-rail along an old railway.
Brenne Natural Regional Park
North of Limoges on the southern cusp of the Loire Valley, Brenne Natural Regional Park stretches along the Creuse River, laced with easy hiking, biking, and wildlife-watching trails. Popular spots include the lakeside camping and swimming beaches at Bellebouche Lake and the bird-watching hides at Chérine Nature Reserve.
When to go
With temperatures averaging 25°C, summer is the most popular time of year to visit Limoges, when the city hosts several open-air festivals and events. As in the rest of France, camping season runs from April through October, although some motorhome aires and private campsites may stay open year-round.
