Visiting without your car
Are you coming to visit the gaillard lands of the Brive region and have no car?
So, we're not going to hide anything, since frankness is one of the values we have, we prefer to warn you. Our territory is not flat, our territory is largely rural... For us, 20 kilometers is just around the corner... But where am I going with this?
We have soft mobility transport problems... either you have to be really strong to do everything by bike (but it's possible), or because the public transport networks do not fully cover the entire territory and its emblematic sites...
Aware of these obstacles, communities are working to fill these gaps in our overall approach to being an eco-friendly destination. The set up of a summer shuttle between the Causse lake and downtown Brive and between Le Saillant and Brive is a perfect example...
Visiting via public transport
We offer you, departing from Brive, several tourist circuits with train or bus timetables allowing you to discover our beautiful tourist sites.
You will be able to visit TurenneSainte-Féréole, Varetz (and Colette Gardens), Allassac, Objat, Pompadour, Terrasson, Montignac (and the caves of Lascaux) or go to places of outdoor activities such as Causse Lake or Le Saillant.
To help you prepare optimally for your stay, we regularly post a guide online with updated timetables that you can download below. We invite you to read all our comments and in particular the distances that may exist between the place of arrival and the place of visit.
