Tips from the Community
If you don't take the detour from the GR, you'll have to look for the trails west of the summit... but the view is great, weather permitting.

Pérols-sur-Vézère is a beautiful little village on the Millevaches plateau. It is crossed by what is today a departmental road, but which was a very important Gallo-Roman axis during ancient Rome.

A vestige of the Carolingian era, this bridge extends the rural path that leads from Varieras to Pérols-sur-Vézère, and has now become a must-see hiking destination. It is thus used by many hikers. Its construction, typical of the period, presents itself as follows: a low-arched arch, three water crossings on the left side, and a small fore-beak made of cut granite blocks. Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate it.

The hamlet of Variéras is made up of dwellings covered with thatched roofs. This gives it the appearance of a Gallic village, which contributes to your journey through time with the Gallo-Roman site of Les Cars, not far from here.

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.
