The Bois wood is a Natura 2000 protected area and is the highest point in the High Viennese department (777 metres). This wooded massif, which dominates the lake, is distinguished in the landscape by its deciduous trees (mainly oaks and beech) when the surrounding areas have been invaded by the conifers. From stones to hollow roads, from washing into villages, you will cross the green heart of Limousin.

This religious building, with its refined Southern Gothic architecture, reveals on one of its facades, an engraved inscription dating from 1329! It is the foundation charter of this chapel by its lords and co-lords. Inside, you will find various registers with 23 hagiographic figures, including Saint Catherine, Saint Michael and Thomas Becket! The town council has been pampering this jewel by restoring it for several years...

The museum occupies the buildings of the former naval medical and surgical school of the Hôpital de la Marine. Created in 1722 by Jean Cochon-Dupuy, the king's physician, it was the first military medical school in Europe, and also the oldest naval medical school in the world. The superb library, created in 1818, houses 25,000 books: some are old, others surprising and often exotic (travel accounts, notes on the peoples observed). If you visit the museum between May 15 and September 20, this year you will discover the workshop of the platypus, an animal that aroused many reactions and doubts in the scientific community when it first arrived in Europe!
