A day motorcycling in the Limousin
Combine camping at Les Roussilles with a day of exploring. Visit Limousin and Adventure BMW Motorrad have created two extended rides. The original descriptions and GPX files help you prepare.
Both rides start in Limoges. The stated distance is for the published route, excluding travel to and from the campsite. Check the track, road surfaces and return journey for your motorcycle and experience.
Two rides to choose from
Oradour and Lac de Saint-Pardoux
A day ride taking in Oradour-sur-Glane, Site Corot, Mortemart and Lac de Saint-Pardoux. The itinerary also includes Saint-Léger-la-Montagne, the Rocherolles viaduct and the arboretum at La Jonchère-Saint-Maurice.
Plan your stops carefully: a visit to Oradour calls for time and reflection. Use the full description and route file provided by the creators.

A longer ride via Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, Lac de Vassivière, Eymoutiers and Mont Gargan. The published route continues through Meuzac, Bonneval, Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche and Montbrun.
Allow a full day with time to spare and plan visits around the total riding time. The official page provides the stages and GPX file.

Do I have to ride the whole route?
No. Use the stops as inspiration and plan a shorter ride if that suits you better. Changing the original route also changes the distance and riding time. Check your adapted route in your navigation system.
Are these Les Roussilles routes?
These routes were created by Visit Limousin and Adventure BMW Motorrad. The source provides the starting point, full itinerary and original files. We share them as inspiration for your stay.
Can I ride into a nature reserve along the way?
Use only roads and tracks where motorcycles are permitted. Nature stops may involve walking: the Tourbière des Dauges, for example, cannot be visited by motorbike.
How do I prepare for the ride?
Check the weather and route, plan fuel stops and breaks, and check opening times for places you want to visit. Download the route file beforehand and check that your navigation displays it correctly.
Relax after a day outdoors
Back at Les Roussilles, relax at your pitch, enjoy the restaurant or book a private wellness session. Check the options and availability beforehand.
