Overlooking the Vienne valley, Saint-Martin-de-Jussac is 4km from Saint-Junien on the Haut Limousin road, and less than half an hour from Limoges. Its location gives it a dual aspect: that of a small rural Limousin commune where agriculture is the main activity, and that of a residential commune on the outskirts of Saint-Junien. The most remarkable element of its historic heritage is its recently restored 12th and 15th century church. Adjacent to it, the former presbytery (18th century), restored with the help of the Vienne-Glane community of communes, is home to a large-capacity gîte (16 people) with the "Gîte de France" label. The village is criss-crossed by a number of short hiking trails through a wide variety of landscapes.

The small town of Saint-Victurnien owes its existence to a Scottish hermit who settled in this valley around the 6th century. A church was built around his tomb. This 12th-century Romanesque church boasts a particularly rich collection of furnishings: the building contains a dozen paintings, two of which, dating from the 17th century, depict moments in the life of Saint Victurnien. The church?s treasure trove is equally remarkable: on display are the 19th-century reliquary bust of the saint, in silver-plated bronze, and the reliquary of Victurnien?s skull, made in 1920 and shaped like a ciborium, in enamelled bronze and copper, with painted enamel decoration. The capitals of the north and south portals feature a frieze of plant motifs.

The lantern of the dead is a hollow granite pillar, with a niche at the top in which a flame was hoisted to light eternity, helping the souls of the departed to find their way. Most date from the 12th century and are located in cemeteries. There are 7 in Haute-Vienne.

Situated 20km from Limoges, the commune owes its name to a hermit who, according to legend, lived in the forest on the banks of the Vienne in the so-called tenebrous valley in the 5th century. Located on the banks of the Vienne, the leisure center offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including canoeing, climbing, archery and orienteering. A number of hiking trails allow you to discover the many assets of this village, as well as a Terra Aventura zinzin course. Special sites: the 13th-century church, a number of private houses such as the Maison Dony, the Villa des Pins and several other villas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The old hospital, with its Renaissance facade (1564) and mullioned windows, the Château du Loubier and many other buildings along the lanes are also worth a visit.

This chapel, once dedicated to Saint Guignefort, was rebuilt in the 13th century and dedicated to Saint Madeleine. It was the headquarters of the Pénitents bleus brotherhood from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

The covered market was built between 1899 and 1902 to replace the old covered market, which was part of a complex adjoining the collegiate church and demolished in accordance with the regulations of the time. The new building housed the covered market, the grain market and the village hall. Built using materials such as iron and glass, it is a fine example of the architecture of the period. It's open from Friday to Sunday to welcome a host of producers!

Discover the collegiate church of Saint-Junien with our audioguides or a guided tour for groups (booking required). One of the largest and oldest Romanesque churches in the Limousin, it was the center of a vast complex (cloister, bishop?s house) which has now disappeared. Built in granite in 4 successive phases, from the 11th to the 13th century, the church's layout has always been respected, making it a homogeneous structure that bears the mark of the various construction periods, from the Romanesque to the emerging Gothic. Not to be missed: the monumental tomb housing the sarcophagus of Saint Junien. This magnificent 12th-century tomb, richly sculpted in La Rochefoucauld limestone, is shaped like a giant reliquary, with 3 of its sides covered in sculptures reminiscent of the fresco in the nave. An interesting series of polychrome statues dating from the 15th to 18th centuries line the
