Discover Eyburie

The Vézère is one of the two main waterways that flow through Eyburie. The hilly landscape offers views of the Massif des Monédières; trails for walking and cycling also run through the countryside. Eyburie can be reached via exits 44 or 45 of the A20 motorway, and also via Uzerche train station. Check current train services before your trip.

Hiking and Cycling

The Circuit des deux bourgs is a yellow-marked circular hiking trail in Eyburie. It is considered moderately difficult, is 16.5 kilometres long and takes approximately four hours and 30 minutes. The trail passes through sunken lanes, forests and meadows to the ruins of the former Moulin de Chaleix. The circuit is also considered suitable for families. Its length and approximate duration give you a specific reference point when estimating how much time to allow for your hiking plans. In addition to this circular trail, there are trails for walking and cycling through the countryside.

Canoeing and Planning Your Time

A canoeing section runs from Pont de Peyrissac to Pont de Vernéjoux in Eyburie. The route is seven kilometres long; the estimated duration is between one hour and 15 minutes and two hours and 15 minutes. Pont de Vernéjoux, in the area of Eyburie and Chamboulive, is also a possible starting point for a canoe trip on the Vézère. The section is considered accessible to everyone.

The time estimates make the difference between the activities clear: a shorter duration is given for the canoeing section than for the Circuit des deux bourgs, which takes approximately four hours and 30 minutes. This lets you compare a canoe trip with a longer hike based on the stated durations. The other trails through the countryside also offer opportunities for walking and cycling, though no specific duration is given for them.

Local History and Craftsmanship

The Eyburie war memorial displays photographs of soldiers who died for France in the Second World War. The Église St Jean Baptiste was built in the 19th century from stones taken from the former church. Another historical connection is Maurice Bourdin: he was born in Eyburie and elected pope in 1118 under the name Gregory VIII. These various connections range from a specific building history to a historical figure associated with Eyburie.

Woodworking is another possible theme for a stay. Martin Philippon makes decorative and practical turned wooden objects from wood sourced nearby. He offers woodcarving and woodturning classes on request, lasting from half a day to three days. If you are interested in a class, enquire before your trip. The stated range helps you compare the time commitment for this activity with that of the other activities.
