Just 25 minutes away lies the beautiful Lac de Vassivière (1,000 hectares). It's one of the largest lakes in Europe. You can rent a sailboat or simply enjoy the tranquility of one of the many beaches. On the central island is a castle with a changing exhibition. Free water taxis operate around the lake all day long.

Le Veau Vert lies between two large nature parks. The Millevaches en Limousin Regional Nature Park, directly east of Le Veau Vert, is one of them. This 3,000 km² nature park offers vast forests, mountains reaching 1,000 meters, impressive lakes, wetlands, and other natural beauty. Ideal for (long-distance) hiking, cycling, and motorcycle tours.

The summit of Mont Gargan, at 731 meters the second highest mountain in the Haute Vienne, offers a magnificent 360-degree panorama. From the parking lot, a hiking trail sheltered by majestic old trees leads to the summit (for those with limited mobility, there's also the option of driving up). Once at the top, a beautiful park and heathland await you, with several viewpoints, the ruins of an old chapel, and a memorial to the Maquis, who fought a heroic battle here.
