Haute-Vienne tourist information
where to go - what to see - what to do
Forest, lakes and countryside continue to attract tourists to the Haute-Vienne who enjoy a range of activities including walking, fishing, sailing, boating and skiing.
The countryside is hilly and wooded, ideal for the famous Limousin breed of cattle.
Haute-Vienne is proud of its cultural & historical heritage with well preserved abbeys & Roman churches (Soulignac & Chateauponsac), fortified castles (Chalus & Montbrun).
Limoges is the department's capital and has long been famous for its enamel and fine china production.
