The River Taurion

The Taurion rises on the Plateau de Millevaches, at an altitude of 785 m, covers 125 km and passes through 29 communes before flowing into the Vienne. In Saint-Martin, the Taurion is joined by several tributaries, including the Parleur in Le Bost. The high flow rate has long allowed the flotation of timber and various industrial activities: flour and paper mills, presses... and today a hydroelectric plant. The river is also very full of fish, much to the delight of fishermen.
