Description

The Limousin seen from the sky... It is easier to understand an area when you fly over it, then use a zoom effect to descend and see the elements it consists of. Everything here is unique.From the Mont-Bessou tower car park, go straight down the road to the village of Lavaur.In Lavaur, turn right onto the D979 E3 (Variant: continue straight ahead). Then turn left towards the village of Lespinat.In Lespinat at the D109, turn right and then immediately left. The road becomes a path. Join a forest track that you take on the right. Continue straight on for 1 km and then take the small road on the right. Go through Le Goumoueix and return to the D109 (off the trail on the left: The return journey to the Douglaseraie des Farges takes about 5 minutes).Take the road on the right and then, after the railway bridge, take the second path on the left. This rises; turn left at the next crossroad and reach the Beech Road.Take the road on the left for a long time, leaving pathes on your left and right. Leave on your left the road to Le Cloup, carry on the Beech Roads for another 1,5 km.At the track, take it on your left.

Ambiance

Rise up onto the Limousin Mountain following the local Beech Road and observe through huge window-like openings cut through the forest, the distant horizons that open onto the Monts d'Auvergne, with, in the foreground, the high Corréziens plateaus and the countless valleys where the rivers snake through. Descend to explore the wetlands at the bottom, where peat bogs have been forming for thousands of years. Turn your head to the right, to the left, here nothing is the same; here everything is magnificent; here you can breathe.
