Vassivière Island

An enchanting site!

L’île de Vassivière is an emblematic site of contemporary creation in a majestic setting that can be enjoyed all year round. Entirely pedestrianised for the enjoyment of all, it is accessible all year round on foot or by mountain bike. During the summer months, you can also reach it on board “La Golfette de l’Île” or by shuttle boat. Let yourself be transported on an initiatory journey where the siècles intertwine mêlant creation, nature, animation and tradition!

Hike to your heart’s content along the riverside path!
