Major natural sites

Nature and discovery sites are remarkable natural sites that are of important ecological interest for the département of the Haute-Vienne as well as at a national or European level.

Structured around 9 thematically and geographically identified Centres, they bear witness to the wealth and the diversity of natural habitats in the Haute-Vienne. Equipped with entertaining educational material or animated media, they invite us to discover this remarkable environment, to know it better and therefore better respect it!

This network of sites has been set up by the départemental Council in partnership with local authorities, naturalist associations managing the site and other local entities.

- Mont Gargan

- The Dauges Peat Bog natural and national reserve

- Pouge Lake
