Just ten minutes drive from Peyrat le Chateau is Lake Vassiviere, one of the Limousin’s major holiday venues and reputed to be the largest area of inland water in France. The lake and surrounding area is an ideal location for walkers, cyclists and horse riders wishing to explore the 300 km of footpaths and bridleways. Six beaches provide safe facilities for children and bathers, whilst water sports enthusiasts can indulge in sailing, windsurfing, motorboat racing and water skiing. Ideal for fishermen, the lake is stocked with pike, sander, roach, carp and tench, that can be fished all year round. What’s more, many of the surrounding rivers and streams are stocked with trout. |
