Around Cussac, Haute-Vienne

Our village of Cussac, only 2km from our bed and breakfast has a lot to offer. As well as being home to an excellent international moto-cross circuit, Cussac also boasts a working mill, La Moulin de la Bregère, which is open every day during the Summer season. The village of Cussac is also famous for the "Site des Bonnes Fontaines", 3 natural springs renowned for their healing powers and where villagers go to pray for ailing friends and leave an item of clothing as an offering.

Sports & Activities

Limousin, known as "the land of a thousand lakes" offers just about every sport and activity imaginable and the numerous lakes and rivers around the area offer some of the best fishing in the whole of Europe. Our local lakes at St Mathieu, Rochechouart and Bussiere-Galant, all less than half-hour from our B&B, have beach areas and lakeside cafes and offer pedaloes and canoeing during the Summer.

If you enjoy cycling there are hundreds of cycling routes all around the region but if you fancy something a bit different why not try the velorail, about 30 minutes from our B&B, Cussac.
