"Land of a thousand lakes?" - maybe a small exaggeration but actually not far short of the mark. The Limousin is more than blessed with a countless variety of pure water lakes, from small fishing venues to huge lakes catering for all kinds of watersport - many with sandy beaches and lifeguard monitoring to provide safe and pleasant bathing for children. Best of all - they are FREE.

Whether you just want to picnic on a grassy area with outstanding views and the peace of the countryside around you, spend a quiet day fishing, or indulge in one of the many pursuits available at some of the lakes, then you will be spoilt for choice.

Wherever you go in the Limousin there WILL be a lake nearby. Don't expect to be able to take it all in during one visit, or even ten. Exploring the Limousin, its rivers and lakes will take a lifetime!
