Chaumeil

Highlight • Other

Chaumeil may not seem like much, but this seemingly insignificant village is home to two local celebrities.

A charming museum open only during the summer season pays tribute to Jean Ségurel, the famous accordionist born and died in the village. The museum also has a bicycle by Raymond Poulidor, a famous French cyclist born in Masbaraud-Mérignat in the Creuse. The famous “Allez Poupou” is inscribed in the collective memory of cyclists. His duels with Anquetil contributed to the legend of the Tour de France.

Thatched church in Lestards

Highlight • Other

The church of Lestards is the only one in France to have a thatched roof, with its 15th century architecture, built mainly in granite. The granite floor has well-recognizable tombstones, although the carvings that adorn them are fairly worn, and old enough that it is not known which local dignitary was buried there.

Panoramic Tower of Mont Bessou

Highlight • Viewpoint

The panoramic tower of Mont Bessou, located in Meymac, is a remarkable site in the Millevaches regional natural park in Limousin. Perched at a symbolic altitude of 1,000 meters, this 26-meter structure offers a breathtaking panorama, which even allows you to see as far as Puy-de-Dôme on a clear day. The site, complete with picnic tables, is also the starting point for numerous hiking trails.
