Motorhome area of Cieux

About thirty kilometres north of Limoges, Cieux is a rural town in the Limousin region home to remains of the megalithic period. Surrounded by nature, Cieux offers numerous hiking trails at the foot of the Blond mountains, which you can enjoy on foot, by bike or even on horseback. Follow the « Circuit des mégalithes », a trail leading you to menhirs and dolmens, such as the menhir of Ceinturat (highest in the Haute-Vienne department), classified as a National Heritage Site. You can also admire the menhir of Arnac and the Bois-du-Rat chapel. Located a few meters from the campsite, the large pond of Cieux is the perfect playground for fishermen. Only for carp fishing, don’t forget to bring a fishing licence! During your stay in Cieux, take the opportunity to visit the martyred village of Oradour-sur-Glane, about ten kilometres from the area. Sadly known for its massacre of 10 June 1944, the village still has some ruins which are now classified as National Heritage Sites. They can be seen at the memorial centre (300 000 visitors per year), which recounts the horror of that day and the Occupation more generally.
