The territory of the Regional Nature Park (PNR) has thousands of springs and rivers (Vézère, Creuse, Corrèze, Vienne...) and is home to remarkable natural environments where peat bogs, moors, forests and meadows alternate. The Longeyroux peat bog, an exceptional reservoir of biodiversity, is a case in point.


The NRP is home to fragile and unique animal and plant species: otters, pearl mussels, wetland azure, linnet, white-tailed eagle, viviparous lizard, etc.


It is also a staging area for migratory birds. There are 12 species of birds, including the red-backed shrike, the European nightjar, the woodlark, the grey crane, etc.


The flora is very diverse: heather moorland, sphagnum moss or drosera are just a few examples. A dense forest of deciduous and coniferous trees creates a heterogeneous landscape. An astonishing and unmissable discovery.

It is open to visitors for free, all year long. And if you would like to participate in this project, you are more than welcome to contact us !

Discovery of the largest peat bog in Limousin, that of Longeyroux as well as the unique flora and fauna it shelters.
This bog is an extraordinary site which benefits from several protection measures.

On the site of a former Templar priory in the heart of the Millevaches Regional Nature Park, Stéphanie welcomes you to this beautifully renovated house, typical of the habitat of the plateau. Beautiful proportions, granite walls, a slate roof, strong elements such as this exceptional well characterize the place. One enters a vast living room warmed in winter by a wood-burning stove: the relaxation area is warm, the kitchen open to the living room is functional. The beautiful stone staircase leads to a reading or games area, 3 bedrooms and a shower room/WC. The whole is elegant, comfortable and nothing is missing.


A promise kept for those who want to break away from their daily lives: a natural holiday, a reconnection with what is essential, privileged moments with family or friends, but also a place to work at a distance with the trees as a backdrop.

The Longeyroux peat bog is an unusual site which benefits from several protection measures. Since 1986, a Prefectural Biotope Protection Order has covered 255 hectares. This site is also listed in the inventory of natural monuments of the Corrèze Department. The law on water of 03/01/1992 is fully applicable since the Vézère, one of the largest rivers in the department, has its source here. The Mountain Law of 09/01/1985 also covers this area. Concerned about preserving this site of national importance, the Limousin CREN currently manages 120 hectares.

Discover the landscapes and the typical flora and fauna of the heaths through 9 interpretation stations.

Signposting: stone blocks engraved with a heather flower and a purple directional arrow.

The Arboretum of Saint Setiers is a small jewel which can be visited freely. It extends over 3 hectares and contains more than 130 species of trees and flowerbeds offering you multiple atmospheres between large century-old trees and flowers along the paths.

You will be able to experience the relationship with the trees that suits you. You will discover rare or remarkable trees by their age and size, trees of shadow and light. You will take the time to discover by awakening your five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. At the end of your visit you can discover the exhibition "My friends the trees".
