Les sources de la Vézère

Source: Longeyroux peat bog, commune of Meymac
Source altitude: 887 m
Length of Vézère river: 211 km
Departments crossed: Corrèze and Dordogne.
Meaning: Vesera in Occitan. From Vizara (Viz or Iz = hollow valley and ara = watercourse) meaning "watercourse in the hollow valley". Another hypothesis is the Celtic word "isara" = "a rapid, impetuous flow (in flood)".
Flows into the Dordogne on the right bank at Limeuil (24).
Dordogne watershed
Anecdote: the Vézère hosted the World Downhill Canoeing Championships in Treignac in 1959 and 2000, and several World Cup races in recent years.
Visible: no, as it's lost in the wetlands of the peat bog. But don't miss the Longeyroux peat bog (the largest in the Limousin region).
