La Maulde et ses barrages

The Maulde is a small river that rises in the Creuse and flows through the Haute-Vienne into the Vienne after a journey of almost 70 km. It feeds the largest man-made reservoir in the Limousin, Lac de Vassivière, as well as the dams at Mont-Larron, Martineix, Fleix, Bujaleuf and Langleret, then Villejoubert and l'Artige. An angler's playground, the Maulde also offers superb bathing at Bujaleuf (Lac de Saint Hélène) and Saint Julien le Petit (plan d'eau du Martineix).
