The Millevaches Regional Nature Park and its 14 Natura 2000 labelled sites

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.

Les arbres redressés

A team of volunteers came together, “armed” with axes and saws, and brought this area back to life, thanks to sculptures! “Art brut », spontaneous art, art that does not claim to be cultural nor intellectual, simply a contemporary garden.

Le Prieuré de la Côte

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.

Les Bruyères interpretation trail

Departure point: Car park overlooking the Longeyroux peat bog, on the edge of the D109.

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.
