Topo Guide and Roaming Map: new tools for hiking

Published on March 6, 2024 by Karine Malagnoux

The agglomeration of Brive la Gaillarde, in collaboration with the Editions Glénant, is proud to announce the release of two valuable resources for all hiking enthusiasts: a detailed topo guide and roaming card. These tools were designed as part of the hiking plan developed by the Brive metropolitan area, aiming to promote and facilitate the discovery of the natural and heritage wealth of the region through walking.

Brive and its region: a spot for outdoor activities

The Brive region is distinguished by its outdoor activities, real major assets for the destination. Hiking is one of them. Its offer is particularly qualified and diversified: more than 300 km of paths dedicated to pedestrian roaming, 26 short hikes (qualified PDIPR) adapted to all levels, a remarkable escape known as "the Causse loop", 11 large loops for the more adventurous, as well as an exciting variation of the "Way of St. James" linking Brive to Turenne.

Opting for hiking or cycling to discover the Corrèze landscapes allows you to experience an unforgettable vacation, while minimizing your carbon footprint. To facilitate these discoveries, a bicycle rental offer spread across the territory, as well as a mountain bike rental base at Lac du Causse and Saillant have been put in place.

In the spirit of making adventure accessible to all, turnkey weekends by bike are also offered to explore the Corrèze gems, combining physical effort, visual pleasure and cultural discovery.

Topo Guide and Roaming Map your new traveling companions

  • The topo guide recently published is much more than a simple collection of itineraries. It presents itself as the ideal companion for anyone wishing to discover the Brive region on foot. Richly illustrated, it contains detailed descriptions of 26 courses, information on cultural and natural heritage, as well as practical advice for safe hiking.

    You can buy it directly from the tourism office. 

  • As for the Roaming card, it is an essential tool for planning your journeys, identifying major loops and not missing any of the wonders that the Brive area has to offer.
