This is where five smaller country roads in the region meet. Asphalt is ok, rather rough. Little going on!

Lake Vassivière

Highlight • Lake

Lake Vassivivère located in the Millevaches regional natural park in Limousin is the largest in the region, a true inland sea!

On the developed banks there are several campsites and restaurants. The whole thing remains quite intimate.

Nedde

Overall, the orange roads (cf. federal highway) are in very good condition and hardly ever traveled during the week (despite the high season!). The side streets are okay in terms of asphalt.
